About

Pig Latin is a classic language game where English words are transformed by moving consonants to the end and adding "ay," or by appending "way" to vowel-starting words. Our free Pig Latin translator handles full paragraphs instantly, preserving punctuation, capitalization, and tricky "qu" clusters so your translated text looks natural and reads correctly every time.

FAQ
What are the rules for Pig Latin?+

If a word starts with a vowel, add "way" to the end (e.g., "apple" → "appleway"). If it starts with one or more consonants, move that consonant cluster to the end and add "ay" (e.g., "string" → "ingstray"). The "qu" pair always moves together as a single unit.

Does the translator preserve capital letters and punctuation?+

Yes. The tool detects whether each word is lowercase, Title Case, or ALL CAPS and restores that style in the output. Trailing punctuation such as commas, periods, and question marks is stripped before translation and reattached afterward.

How does the translator handle words that start with 'qu'?+

"qu" is treated as an inseparable cluster. For example, "queen" becomes "eenquay" rather than "ueenqay," which matches the most widely used Pig Latin convention.

Can I translate whole paragraphs, not just single words?+

Absolutely. Paste as much text as you like — the tool processes every word individually, preserves spacing and line breaks, and handles hyphenated compound words by translating each part separately.
