Pig Latin is a playful word game built on two simple rules. If a word starts with one or more consonants, that leading consonant cluster moves to the end of the word and "ay" is added, so "pig" becomes "igpay" and "latin" becomes "atinlay". If a word starts with a vowel, the word stays in place and "way" is added, so "eat" becomes "eatway". This translator also treats "qu" as one consonant unit and treats a leading "y" as a consonant but a mid-word "y" as a vowel, matching the classic schoolyard rules.

For a word starting with consonants, move the leading consonant cluster (up to the first vowel) to the end of the word and add "ay". For a word starting with a vowel, simply add "way" to the end.
A leading Y is treated as a consonant, as in "yellow" becoming "ellowyay". A Y elsewhere in the word is treated as a vowel boundary, as in "my" becoming "ymay".
Yes. The letters "qu" are treated as a single consonant unit, so "quiet" becomes "ietquay" instead of splitting the u away from the q.
Yes. If the original word started with a capital letter, the translated word is capitalized too. Punctuation, numbers and spacing stay exactly where they were.
