Frequently asked questions

Is this an AI rewrite?

No — it's a straightforward word-substitution dictionary of roughly 30 common words and phrases, plus an occasional "Arrr!" at the end of sentences. That makes it instant and predictable rather than clever.

Does it work on any language?

No, only English — the word dictionary is English-specific.

Our pirate speak translator is a word-swap dictionary, not an AI — on purpose
