Pig Latin, Leetspeak & Vaporwave Text Translator

Pig Latin translator

Pig Latin is a playful language game known to generations of English-speaking schoolchildren. It is not a real language, just a set of simple rules for disguising words. If a word begins with a consonant or a cluster of consonants, those sounds move to the end and "ay" is added: "hello" becomes "ellohay" and "string" becomes "ingstray". If a word starts with a vowel, "way" is added instead: "apple" becomes "appleway". The translator keeps "qu" together, treats y as a vowel after the first letter so "rhythm" becomes "ythmrhay", and preserves capital letters and punctuation, so whole sentences come out readable.

Leetspeak converter and decoder

Leetspeak, written 1337 or l33t, grew out of bulletin boards, hacker culture and online games, where swapping letters for lookalike numbers and symbols signalled insider status. The basic style replaces A with 4, E with 3, I and L with 1, O with 0, S with 5 and T with 7, and stays fairly readable. The advanced style builds letters from several symbols, such as |-| for H, |\/| for M and \/\/ for W, for a more cryptic look. The final card works in reverse and turns common leetspeak back into plain letters, leaving standalone numbers such as years untouched.

Vaporwave aesthetic text

Vaporwave text uses the fullwidth forms of Latin letters that were originally created for East Asian typesetting. Each character takes the space of a Chinese character, giving the wide, airy ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ style associated with the vaporwave music and art movement, retro computer graphics and 1980s nostalgia. The spaced variant puts a space between every letter of an uppercase version for an even more dramatic look. Because the result is plain Unicode text, it works in bios, captions, playlist names and chats.
