Pig Latin translator
Pig Latin is the old schoolyard word game where English words are scrambled by a fixed rule, so "hello world" becomes "ellohay orldway". Paste any English text and this translator rewrites every word instantly, leaving your spaces, punctuation, numbers and line breaks exactly where they were.
The rule is simple. If a word starts with a consonant, the leading consonant cluster moves to the end and "ay" is added: "string" becomes "ingstray". If a word starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), the word keeps its order and a suffix is appended instead. You choose that suffix: the common "way" gives "imageway", while "yay" gives "imageyay". The letter "y" is treated as a consonant when it leads a word, so "yellow" becomes "ellowyay".
Capitalization is preserved so the result still reads naturally. A capitalized word like "Hello" comes back as "Ellohay", and an all-caps word like "OK" stays upper case. Anything that is not an English letter — digits, accented characters, emoji, symbols — passes through untouched, so only the words change.
Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, so it is safe for private notes, secret messages between friends, or just goofing around. The live tally under the output counts how many words were translated and how many characters the result has. Copy it, download it as a .txt file, or send it to another tool when you are done.
FAQ
What is Pig Latin?
It is an English word game, not a real language. Each word is rearranged by a fixed rule and the pieces are read back, which makes speech sound scrambled but still decodable.
How does the consonant rule work?
For a word starting with consonants, the whole leading consonant cluster moves to the end and "ay" is added. "Glove" becomes "oveglay" and "string" becomes "ingstray".
What is the difference between "way" and "yay"?
Both only affect words that already start with a vowel. "way" turns "apple" into "appleway"; "yay" turns it into "appleyay". Consonant-initial words are unaffected.
Does it work on other languages?
Pig Latin is defined for English, so the tool only transforms runs of A–Z letters. Accented letters and non-Latin scripts are left as they are, which means non-English words may only be partly changed.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The translation runs entirely in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
