Pig Latin Translator

Two rules. If a word begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), it keeps its spelling and gets way added to the end, so egg becomes eggway. Otherwise every leading consonant up to the first vowel is moved to the end and ay is added, so smile becomes ilesmay and string becomes ingstray.

It always uses way. Vowel-initial words like apple and egg become appleway and eggway. Some Pig Latin variants add yay or hay instead, but this tool consistently appends way, so the output stays predictable.

The whole cluster before the first vowel moves together, not just the first letter. So string moves str to give ingstray, and brown moves br to give ownbray. This matches the common school-yard rule for blends.

It preserves the case of the first letter only. If the original word started with a capital, the translated word is capitalized and the remaining letters are lowercased, so Hello becomes Ellohay. It does not preserve all-caps or mid-word capitals.

Yes. Only runs of A to Z letters are translated, so spaces, digits, commas, apostrophes and other punctuation stay exactly where they were. In do you? the question mark is untouched and only the words change.

A letter run with no vowel at all just gets ay added to the end, since there is no vowel to move the consonants in front of. For example nth becomes nthay.

The letter y is treated as a consonant, not a vowel. So a word starting with y follows the consonant rule, and a y in the middle of a word can end the leading cluster only if it comes after an actual vowel, never on its own.

There is no fixed cap. The whole box is translated in your browser, and even long passages convert instantly. A live character counter next to the output shows the length of the Pig Latin result.
