Python Pig Latin

Translate text into Pig Latin using Python

How it works

This script converts English text in Pig Latin following these steps:

• Strips non-alpha or single space characters from input text
• Converts input text to all lower case
• For words that start with consonants, moves all consonants before the first vowel to the end of the word ("the" becomes "ethay" not "hetay")
• For words that start with vowels, nothing is changed, only the suffix is added
• Adds suffix "ay" to the end of words

Instructions

Install with Pip/PyPi in the command line interface:

pip install pig-latin

In your Python code, import the library:

import piglatin

Call the translator in your code:

piglatin.translate('Your text goes here!')

Your text will be translated into Pig Latin and returned as a string.
