Download the Aneamal Translator

The Aneamal Translator translates Aneamal files on a server automatically to HTML when they are requested by a web browser. The translator is offered under a free and open-source software license.

The Aneamal Translator currently requires PHP 8.1 on an Apache Server with support for mod_rewrite in .htaccess. Many affordable web hosting offers fulfill this. Ask your web hosting provider about it, if you are unsure.

Fresh Installation

Check your website for errors and design glitches. The Aneamal Translator encodes sections explicitly with the HTML section element now. This helps with styling, but could make amending old stylesheets necessary.
