Kryptonese Translation

Something I've kind of always wondered is where people in the fandom find translations of English into Kryptonese, or how they translate it. I see a lot of Kara's language in fanfiction specifically, and it's usually consistent across different stories, meaning they use the same words to mean the same things, which tells me that these are canonically accepted translations and not made up by the writers.

I am aware of websites like kryptonian.info that has sections that do translation and has a dictionary, as well as many other websites that will translate Kryptonese for you, but they all just translate the English alphabet into Kryptonian symbols. Whenever I see Kryptonese in a story I'm reading, it's the phonetic translation using the English alphabet, like, for example: Zhao, which means love. I've seen this in dozens of fanfics if not more, which makes me wonder if there's a translation resource that I'm not aware of.

What do people use to translate English into phonetic Kryptonese using English letters?

Looking for specific fics :)

I loveeee Medieval/Fantasy/Royal Supercorp fics, and I was hoping for all your best recomendations! I'm specifically looking for stories where Lena is the one who is royalty of some kind, like a queen or a princess, and Kara is in service to her somehow, like as her handmaiden, her bodyguard, a knight, etc. Bonus points if Kara still has powers because I always think it makes things more interesting, especially in a medieval world, but I'm also happy with no-powers recs. I'll take anything: multi-chapter, one-shots; I'll even take incomplete fics if they're good enough. I appreciate your help! <3

Searching for a fic :)

Edit: It was found! https://www.wattpad.com/story/178666553?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details&wp_uname=Rain71186

Hi! I'm new here; this sub was recommended to me after I mentioned to a friend that I was looking for a fic. I read this a really long time ago, and I used to reread it a lot, but I haven't read it again in years, and I was just reminded of it.

This was a multi-chapter fic, and I think I had to have read it on either Wattpad or Fanfiction .net, because I remember it having a cover, but It could have been posted on Ao3 as well. I think it may have been a no-powers fic, although I'm not 100% certain because Kara's past was still very similar to Canon.

As for the plot, Kara was a nurse or caretaker of some kind that the Luthor's hired to take care of Lena after she was in some sort of accident that caused her to become disabled or injured somehow and had kind of become a recluse in the Luthor mansion. I think Kara was a live-in caretaker, so she was given her own room in the mansion. It was a slow burn where at first Lena was very closed off and unwilling to connect with Kara and then over time they became friends and eventually got together.

The thing I remember most is one specific chapter about halfway through the story where Kara either missed work or wasn't acting like herself, and Lena noticed and came to talk to her, and Kara told her that it was the anniversary of the day that her parents died, and she opened up to her about her past. Again, I'm not sure if she was actually from Krypton in the story or if she was human, and her parents just died in some sort of fire or something, but I think this was like the turning point when Kara and Lena really started to connect with each other.

That's about all I remember, and I really appreciate anyone who's able to help. Thank you! :)
