Pig Latin Translator
Secret-message wordplay and classroom-style language games become easy to create with the Pig Latin Translator for jokes, usernames, playful phrases, and decoding practice.
What Is Pig Latin?
Pig Latin is an English word game where each word gets rearranged using a simple set of sound-based rules. It has been around since at least the early 1900s and became popular as a playful secret language long before internet slang existed.
The pig latin translation rules are easy to learn. Words starting with consonants get those consonants moved to the end, then "ay" is added. Words starting with vowels just get "way" added at the end. So "hello" becomes "ellohay" and "apple" becomes "appleway".
This pig latin language translator handles the full pig latin alphabet translation automatically, including consonant clusters like "str" and "chr". For another fun word-scrambling tool, the Gibberish Translator uses a completely different method.

Pig Latin Rules for Full Sentences
Pig Latin changes each word, but punctuation, capitalization, and consonant clusters still matter when the input is a full sentence.
