Pig Latin Translator

For words starting with consonants, move the consonant(s) to the end and add "ay" (cat → atcay). For words starting with vowels, add "way" or "yay" to the end (eat → eatway). Consonant clusters (like "ch" or "str") move together as a unit.

When "y" sounds like a consonant (as in "yes" or "yellow"), it's treated as a consonant and moved to the end (esyay). When "y" acts as a vowel (rare at word beginnings), the word gets "way" added instead.

Our converter preserves punctuation at word boundaries. Capitalization can either be preserved at the original position or transferred to the new first letter, depending on the style. We move capitalization to maintain readability.

The name likely references "dog Latin" (mock or corrupted Latin) with "pig" substituted as a humorous animal swap. It has nothing to do with actual Latin or pigs—it's simply a playful name for a playful language game.

Yes, Pig Latin can be reversed by identifying the "ay" or "way" suffix and moving letters back. However, some ambiguity exists (does "eachay" become "each" or "chea"?), so context helps determine the original word.
