• Translates full sentences preserving punctuation and spacing.
• Useful for educational demonstrations and playful wordplay.

The most common question is about the exact Pig Latin rules. Standard rules: if a word starts with a consonant or consonant cluster, move the consonant(s) to the end and add 'ay' (str → ay: 'string' → 'ingstray'). If a word starts with a vowel, add 'way' to the end ('apple' → 'appleway'). Variations exist - some use 'yay' instead of 'way' for vowel-starting words.
