Pig Latin Translator

Pig Latin translator

Convert any English text into Pig Latin, the classic playground word game, using the standard rules. It is a fun way to scramble messages, set simple puzzles or show how words can be rearranged by a fixed phonetic rule — and it updates as you type.

How it works

The translator processes each word, keeping any leading or trailing punctuation in place, and applies two rules to the letters:

starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u):  word + "way"
starts with consonant(s):             move the leading consonant cluster
                                       to the end, then add "ay"

For a consonant-starting word it moves every letter up to the first vowel. A word with no vowel is moved in full. Capitalisation is preserved.

Example

Translating “the quick brown fox”:

• the → ethay (move “th”, add “ay”)
• quick → ickquay (move “qu”)
• brown → ownbray (move “br”)
• fox → oxfay (move “f”)
