Frequently asked questions

How does Pig Latin handle words starting with a vowel?

Words that begin with a vowel keep their spelling and simply get way added to the end, so egg becomes eggway.

What happens to words that start with consonants?

The leading consonant cluster moves to the end of the word and ay is added, so smile becomes ilesmay.

Does it keep capital letters?

Yes. If the original word started with a capital letter, the translated word is capitalized too.

Are punctuation and numbers preserved?

Yes. Only runs of letters are translated, so spaces, digits and punctuation stay exactly where they were.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
