I came across this site which claims to translate text into various dialects. It's meant to be a jokey site, of course. I put in the short text "Good morning everyone. How are you? I'm delighted to see you" and got the results below. It's clear that the dictionary behind the site does not contain the word 'delighted' as it has been left unchanged in all the variants. I know what the Scouse version should be -- made up.
