The other day I was surfing around Facebook and I noticed something strange. In the language settings I noticed a language titled “English – Pirate” So I clicked it and to my surprise someone over at facebook has developed a language setting for pirates.
Not only have they developed the language, they have gone to great links to change almost every aspect of common text in Facebook. It’s impressive and entertaining. Some of my favorite lines are:
- What be troublin ye? replaces – What’s on your mind?
- T davy jone’s with it! replaces – Delete
- 10 Sorry louts think they’re your mates. replaces 10 friend requests
- Shiniest booty – Fresh booty. replaces Top news – Most recent
The list goes on and on – even the notification emails are in Pirate. Check out this video I made to demonstrate how to change your language settings. Also about two minutes in, I play a prank on my wife with her settings.
Enjoy.

I found that quite some time ago but it was very funny to hear your narration about it. Thanks for the great Saturday laugh!
Hey its really cool man. I tried it and couldn’t stop giggling, your way of narration is “awesome”. I’ve shared the video on Facebook and Twitter too. Thanks for putting a smile on everyone’s face. You rock!
Sean, you’re funnier!!!
Facebook shows a considerable attention to detail when converting almost everything to Pirate. I love it!
