Facebook English (Pirate) is the latest language to be added to the platform. Facebook Translation has been progressing across this year as Facebook has been translated into French, Spanish etc. The latest language to be added is Facebook English (Pirate) and it pimps your profile by turning everything into pirate speak!
The Pirate English is to celebrate 'international talk like a pirate day' and to enable the Facebook Pirate English feature just go to the bottom of the Facebook home page, go to the language bar and change it from 'English' to 'English (Pirate)'.
Facebook English (Pirate) changes almost everything on your profile - posting photos becomes 'hoisting portraits', being poked becomes 'Arrr! Ye have been skewered by' and you have 10 friend requests becomes '10 sorry louts think they're yer mates.'Other examples:
Facebook English (Pirate) status
Facebook English (Pirate) newsfeed
Facebook English (Pirate) notificationsInteresting example of how the Facebook platform can work in any language and definitely freshens things up / makes Facebook a bit more entertaining. I wonder how many people will now address me in pirate speak today?!
UPDATE: Google and Friendfeed have also turned pirate for 'International Talk Like A Pirate Day'!
