Piratey
Ahoy thar' lads. Thi' wee thing will turn your chat text in t' Pirate speech. Ye can now also slur your speech like drunken sailor (wi'out the swearin' tho').

Tha's right ya scallywags, ya need not know how to Cap'n a ship to speak like one.

Alas, 'tis not International Speak Like A Pirate Day. But ye be prepare for it now tho'

------------

I cooked this up real quick because of a comment by MMOCowboy in a thread about language translation. Thought I'd have a little fun.

When you first start the game, the add-on will load but will not translate automatically.

The slash commands:[indent]/piratey Toggles add-on on/off. This is useful in case you need to talk to a GM etc.
/piratey pirate toggles pirate speak on/off
/piratey drunk toggles drunken slurring on/off
[/indent]

The default is to have pirate speech on and slurring off. Again, the add-on starts with all translations turned off.

New for version 1.4:
Drunken Slurring
[indent]You can now have your text slurred like a drunken sailor, or just slurred without the pirate conversions. Your choice!
Also added directional tokens $left$, $right$, $forward$,and $back$

Due to the slurring mode, I added extra sub-commands to the slash command (see above)
[/indent]

New with version 1.3:
Pirate Sayings
[indent]Added some special tokens you can place in your text to give special pirate sayings (only a few for now).
Current tokens are $attack$, $insult$, $cryout$, $surprise$, and $prepare$.
Try them out!
[/indent]

Quoted from "CharlieBananas;484229"

I need to hide this from my guild right now.
Easily, our most looked forward to holiday as a guild.

	Source code
1	['peryl'] = { "tha' Great, Grand old Cap'n Peryl!" },

Oh, lord.

Arrr.. ye found me Easter-egg. Had to put meself in thar somewheres

Anyway, updated to version 1.1 (actually now 1.2). Added more phrases, fixed the order it does things a bit, added a capitalization rule, and removed a left over debug message.

Edit
Updated it again! (forgot to actually not translate if translations turned off!)

Updated yet again.
Version 1.3 uses a much better function hook which should allow the Pirate text to work for anything that send chat messages.

Also added some special tokens for pirate sayings. (only a few for now, can add more later).

Piratey now updated to version 1.4 (likely the last update for a while).

The big thing is Piratey now can do drunken slurring with or without the pirate speech (added slash commands to handle this, see first post for details).
Also did some minor bug fixes...
