"Pyrates" is a suite of pirate-themed TUI computer games designed as a classroom aid for teaching software localization with gettext. "Pyrates" showcases a number of common translation problems encountered during software localization.

The game requires Python 3 IDE (at least version 3.8) on your device. See the "Wiki" section above for more information about the games.

New locales can be added on Weblate.org (see the link above). Recommended soundtrack: "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag."
