Pig Latin Translator
Convert English to Pig Latin and back. Apply the classic word game rules: move first consonants to the end and add "ay".
About the Pig Latin Translator
Encode English words into Pig Latin while preserving punctuation and capitalization. Decoding uses a consonant-cluster heuristic and can be ambiguous: multiple English words can produce similar Pig Latin spellings. Review decoded text rather than treating it as a reversible cipher.
