Problem 519. Pig Latin to English Translator

Created by @bmtran (Bryant Tran) in Community

Pig latin is a faux-language based off of English. The rules are as follows (excerpted from the Wikipedia entry for Pig Latin):

1. In words that begin with consonant sounds, the initial consonant or consonant cluster is moved to the end of the word, and "ay" is added, as in the following examples:

    * happy → appy-hay
    * question → estion-quay

2. In words that begin with vowels, the syllable "ay" is simply added to the end of the word.

    * another → another-ay
    * about → about-ay

A hyphen is sometimes used to facilitate translation back into English. Ayspray, for instance, is ambiguous, but ay-spray means "spray" whereas ays-pray means "prays."

Given a string in Pig Latin (may be multiple words), produce the English version.

The test suite has been rearranged to make it easier to understand what is being asked for.

I guess it is an open matter, but should not test 5 question be '... uck-chay ood-way?' instead of '... uck-chay ood?-way' ?

oh thanks, i changed the test suite in the forward problem to remove the question mark, just to simplify the problem a bit. i guess i forgot to in this.
