Pirate Speak Translator

Summary

This tool rewrites plain English into pirate-speak by swapping common words and phrases (you becomes ye, hello becomes ahoy, friend becomes matey) and sprinkling in pirate exclamations like arr and yarr. Everything runs client-side in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.

How it works

1. Type or paste your English text into the input box.
2. The translator scans the text for known words and phrases.
3. Matched words are swapped for their pirate equivalents, keeping your original capitalization.
4. A few pirate exclamations are added at the start or end of sentences.
5. Click "Copy Result" to copy the translated text to your clipboard.
