The Birds, translated for birds.

Read the entire play (52,076 words). Created for NaNoGenMo 2021.

py fagelsang.py translates the whole play and produces a TeX file.

py fagelsang.py 302 translates a single line. For example,

PISTHETAERUS From whom? Why, from themselves. Don't you know the cawing crow lives five times as long as a man?

becomes something like:

PISTHETAERUS Frooi whoooo whooooo? Whaaark, froee thenk seek vee. Doee nt-nt yoooowk-uhii uhi-knoooop knop thet cak wiah-crok lioo vee-fiee veeeee tit tiiiit tiit mee as-looo aasas-a maai mai?
