Abstract

When translating Lojban, it helps to have several documents handy. You need a dictionary, preferably searchable. This should include the gismu, cmavo, rafsi, lujvo, and le'avla. It is also helpful to have the grammar available, which contains both detailed explanations and examples. Finally, one desires several interlinear translations and familiar texts to reference. This page provides immediate links to those documents to assist in Lojban translation and language learning.
