How It Works ✓ Fetches and runs a lightweight JS script that translates text nodes, adds a banner, and handles music playback directly in the browser. ✓ Fetches and runs a more complex JS script that includes a floating UI, allowing users to search translations, adjust settings, and use voice synthesis for spoken pirate text.

Accessibility ✓ Basic support with ARIA labels for core elements. ✓ Enhanced accessibility, including full ARIA roles, settings for customization, and better support for screen readers.
Speech Synthesis ✗ Not available; text is only visually translated. ✓ Included, with options to hear translated text spoken in pirate voice using Web Speech API.
Gold Flash Effect ✓ Words flash gold briefly after translation. ✓ Inherited from Classic, with potential for more customization in the UI.
