JavaScript based tool that translates a sentence into Pig Latin

Pig Latin Translator

I created a module that translates a string into Pig Latin, and is capable of translating Pig Latin back into in the native language.

You can check out the page here.

How Pig Latin Works

Basically, the Pig Latin system used here works as follows:

You take the first letter of a word (e.g. Hello = H) and use the last letters (e.g. Hello = ello) and add 'ay' to the first letter (e.g. Hello = Ello hay).

• Words that start with a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) simply have "ay" appended to the end of the word.

  • Examples are:
    • "eat" → "eatay"
    • "omelet" → "omeletay"
    • "are" → "areay"

• Words that start with a consonant have all consonant letters up to the first vowel moved to the end of the word (as opposed to just the first consonant letter), and "-ay" is appended. -('Y' is counted as a vowel in this context)

  • Examples are:
    • "pig" → "ig-pay"
    • "banana" → "anana-bay"
    • "trash" → "ash-tray"
    • "happy" → "appy-hay"
    • "duck" → "uck-day"
    • "glove" → "ove-glay"

Additional Examples

phrase = 'This phrase will be converted into piglatin, please insert your phrase here.'

pigString= 'is-Thay ig-Pay atin-Lay ase-phray ill-way e-bay anslated-tray ack-bay into-ay e-thay ative-nay anguage-lay -asay -aay ing.-stray'

Thaaaaaaanks :D

pig-latin's Issues

Action required: Greenkeeper could not be activated 🚨

🚨 You need to enable Continuous Integration on all branches of this repository. 🚨

To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because it uses your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.

Since we didn’t receive a CI status on the greenkeeper/initial branch, it’s possible that you don’t have CI set up yet. We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.

If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check how it’s configured. Make sure it is set to run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on absolutely every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with greenkeeper/.

Once you have installed and configured CI on this repository correctly, you’ll need to re-trigger Greenkeeper’s initial pull request. To do this, please delete the greenkeeper/initial branch in this repository, and then remove and re-add this repository to the Greenkeeper App’s white list on Github. You'll find this list on your repo or organization’s settings page, under Installed GitHub Apps.
