Limerickify

Ever wished your application could translate itself into Limerick speak? Well neither did I but here it is anyway.

Convert English to the beautiful and distinct Limerick variant of English.

See TODO list for limitations of which there is many.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'limerickify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install limerickify

Usage

Limerickify.translate('runners') #=> 'tackies'

Limerickify.translate('hello') #=> 'well sham'

TODO

• [x] Simple translation. Translates word by word.
• [ ] Translate complex sentences.
• [ ] Reinstate punctuations in translation.
• [ ] Reinstate capital letters in translation.
• [ ] Railties
• [ ] Allow for an overide yaml file in a rails locale.
• [ ] Rake task to create translation file (i.e. translate Devise locale file and build a new one.)
