No there's not. This is the only non-joke English one, and it's arguably incomplete: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2024025283

Google translate as a resource for Finnish to English translation? Good luck fellas, good luck.

What do you mean? They're not in Finnish. If you want more detailed descriptions, use the wiki: https://noita.wiki.gg/wiki/Noita_Wiki

I may be able to help; After this disclaimer. I am NOT affiliated - on any way - with the developers of this game. Also I do NOT have any "inside" knowledge of their goals or preferences concerning this game. Also -also- I'm definitely not all knowing, so feel free to challenge my words if you believe to know better.

I am a native finnish speaker, and I have noticed that one also needs some basic knowledge of finnish / nordic mythology to accurately translate this to english.

Let's start with UKKO - old man.
Before christianity was forcefully implemented on finns - by the ruler of sveden - our majority believed in "the old man" - UKKO. Whenever he was angry, for any reason, he would "make the sky rumble"; A phenomenon we called "UKKONEN" - thunder. Also a lighting - salama in finnish - was originally called UKON VASAMA, that roughly translates to "old man's arrow". Some scholars believe UKKO to be the same as ODIN - you know THOR, LOKI, etc.. - but I'm quite certain that our UKKO is significantly older than ODIN. For more information, see nordic saga's from Iceland and Kalevala.

During those - pre christianity - days, we also had gnomes, spriggans, fairies, and whatnot... I don't want to slip off topic, but I'm trying to say that most of our beliefs from those days were tightly bound to nature. For an exaple, people would make a "shrine" out of little sticks on a spot they wished to build their house. They would leave the shrine over night, and if it was pillaged by the next morning, the "forest hadn't approve their chosen location", and you had to try again, in a different spot.

We had also "orcs" - HIISIä. I haven't checked what G-trans has to offer as translation, but let me explain. It's not really an orc, but it's even less a troll or goblin or any of those mythic creatures of old. In a way, a satyr would be the closest match, if you only take it's description without the common visuals. Our HIISI didn't have goat legs or horns, but it was a natures spirit. I wasn't really evil - more like a neutral but potentially dangerous, like a modern tiger to a toddler. There were many kinds of HIISI's, most of them all but forgotten, but some of them still cling on in our modern finnis. An example would be a VESIHIISI - a waterHIISI, that is still used to scare children off from lakes or from thin ice.

I don't want to write a whole book here, so here's some titbits before I "rest my case".

A LIMANULJASKA - is primarily a common phrase for any insect that would usually "slither in mud". Most commonly it was used to describe a frogs nymph - all though it also had a specific name. ( NUIJAPÄÄ - a club head ar a cudgel head. )
It is also a word with a negative connotation when used to describe human behavior.

A NOITA - you all know this by now, but originally it wasn't really an accurate synonym for a witch. A shaman would be more accurate. A NOITA could specialize in many ways, but would always start - "the journey to become a noita" - by interpreting the "natures sings".
Also, someone who would present seemingly supernatural abilities, was used to be called Noita by the older females of the community. It was more an honor than a demeaning word.

VIHTA and VASTA, are the same thing. One is a dialect of northeastern Finland, and the other a southwestern dialect. It's is a "broom" made out birch tree, and it's a "tool" for cleansing used originally on mid summers rite inside SAUNA. All though it was not forbidden to use it though the year, you rarely got a VIHTA/VASTA to preserve - especially it's leafs - for more than a couple of weeks.

SAUNA is a place where you pour water on heated stones to induce a cloud of hot steam inside the "room". Originally it had a more important use though. Anywhere from 8000 to 5000 years ago - according to scholars - it's main purpose was to dry grain. Therefore it was warm thru out the year. Here in Finland we have - a "sub season of winter" called - KAAMOS. A period of year where the sun doesn't rise at all - depending on how much up north you are. Without SAUNA those early finns would not have survived, of their harvest would not have survived at least. It's only natural that they would form some rituals tied with SAUNA also. Mainly mid summers and mid winters - or *.solstices - "rite". They also attended sick people an delivered babies in sauna, mainly because of the convenient temperature.

Ask me more, if you are interested.. I glad to spread our early culture to whoever it may concern. Thank you for your interest if you read all the way down here. "You are a master of scrolling" ;)
