Rules used by this translator
A word beginning with one or more consonants moves that initial cluster to the end and adds ay: smile becomes ilesmay. A word beginning with a vowel keeps its letters and adds way: apple becomes appleway. Initial qu moves together.
Why Pig Latin to English is approximate
Pig Latin is a language game, not a one-to-one encoding. After letters move, several original words can sometimes produce the same-looking form. The decoder uses spelling heuristics, so names, unusual clusters, and regional rules need review.
