Add A Pirate Translation (English)

[sommersoft]

Obviously, Pirate is not (yet) an official language. However, I think its a fun idea that @CedarGroveStudios inadvertently suggested.

This is meant to be a community effort. I only did a handful of translations just to get it started.

Mr. Certainly has expressed in interest in helping, and @ATMakersBill mentioned he has an affiliation with ITLAP.

For the IETF language code, I used en_x_pirate, utilizing the "private-use" subtag.

Lastly, for the record, I am not fluent in Pirate. But I be tryin'! ☠️

Haha, awesome!

Actually, do we like this enough to pay the cost of longer Travis build times and more release artifacts? Maybe its better to not have it auto-built.

I plan on updating all my build aliases to use this but yea, I'm not sure it's worth the travis tax. We can still do builds for announced releases, right?

Fair point. I'm not married to an ever-present Pirate translation. Maybe turn it on around International Talk Like A Pirate Day? A "target audience" in my head is the teaching community; "today kids, we'll be programming like pirates". Lofty goals, I know. 😄

Is there currently a way to turn off any particular translation in the Makefile? I can gladly update it with this PR.

We could but not building on Travis means it may not build at release time. Right now all assets are built and uploaded automatically. I think its ok to turn on if you really want it. It only incurs ~10 seconds per board. Adding a new board is more costly.

It seems worth it as a vector for bringing in new contributors, and giving them an easy option to see their contributions in action. I think it could be a fun way to get more people involved, as sommersoft pointed out with education and so on. But I understand the choice to not include it as well.

[tannewt]

I agree with @kattni. I think its worth the extra couple minutes of build time.
