Similar to the Vampire Translation Guide, the Werewolf Translation Guide is a guide to help translate the feel and core elements of Werewolf: The Apocalypse's game system and background into Werewolf: The Forsaken, and vice-versa.

Summary

This book includes:

• Translations of all of the tribes and auspices between versions of Werewolf

Background Information

• This is the first White Wolf product to be branded with an Onyx Path Publishing logo. The logo used is a Werewolf-specific variant. Nearly all White Wolf products carry an Onyx Path logo from this point forward.
• The book details the inspiration the Forsaken and Pure Tribes had taken from Werewolf: The Apocalypse:
  • Ivory Claws = Silver Fangs: Purity
  • Predator Kings = Red Talon Camp of the same name: Hates Humans
  • Blood Talons = Aspects of Get of Fenris, Wendigo, Black Furies and Fianna: Focus on Fighting.
  • Bone Shadows = Aspects of Uktena, Stargazers and Silent Striders: Focus on Spirits and Knowledge.
  • Hunters in Darkness = Aspects of Red Talons and Black Furies: Protecting the Wyld/Wildness.
  • Iron Masters = Glass Walkers
  • Storm Lords = Shadow Lords and Silver Fangs: To Lead/Rule.
  • Ghost Wolves = Ronin
• The only one without a clearly stated inspiration is the Fire-Touched. But one could guess they take the fanatical religious aspects from both the Children of Gaia and Black Spiral Dancers.

Characters

• Stuart Brown, "Stalks-the-Truth" - Fianna to Iron Master Irraka
• Eric Russell - Hunter in Darkness to Silent Strider Philodox

Terminology

First Tongue: Hishu (Human-born, Homid), Ulle’u (Werewolf-born, Metis), Urhanu (Wolf-born, Lupus)
