How to Use the Pig Latin Translator

Pig Latin is a playful language game where English words are altered by moving consonant clusters to the end and adding a suffix. Words that start with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) simply get "way" added at the end. Words that start with one or more consonants have those consonants moved to the end of the word, followed by "ay". For example, "hello" becomes "ellohay", "apple" becomes "appleway", and "street" becomes "eetstray". Our free Pig Latin translator applies these rules instantly to any text you enter.

The translator works word by word. Each word is processed according to the standard rules: if the word begins with a vowel, add "way"; if it begins with consonants, find the first vowel, move everything before it to the end, and add "ay". Capitalization is preserved so that "Hello" becomes "Ellohay". Numbers, punctuation, and spaces are left unchanged. Only letters are transformed, making it easy to translate sentences or longer passages while keeping the structure readable.

Pig Latin is often used for fun, secret messages between friends, language learning exercises, and word games. It is not a real language but a simple transformation of English that has been popular for decades. Children and adults alike enjoy speaking and writing in Pig Latin. Our tool runs entirely in your browser—no text is sent to any server—so you can translate freely and privately.

To use the translator, type or paste your English text into the input box. The Pig Latin translation appears instantly in the result area. You can copy the result to share with others or use it in games. Use the Reset button to clear both fields and start over. The translator handles multiple words, punctuation, and mixed case correctly.

Example

Input: asdadsdasdasda. Output: asdadsdasdasdaway (the word starts with the vowel "a", so "way" is added at the end). Other examples: "hello" → "ellohay", "apple" → "appleway", "translate" → "anslatetray".
