I think you need to give more info if you want help. Do you mean talking with sound or using ‘say’ for example. I suggest with a few examples of what you want it to say.

OR, if you want to make a translator thing, you can do something like this:

I know you're just trying to help (or possibly just trying to get scratcher status), but don't just make posts unless you have something to say that will help another person. The main problem is it bumps up topics that have already been resolved and in turn means that other topics don't get answered.

First post in quite some time.

Try this. It'll work for any length string; this means they can't give you a word that's too long!

Alternatively, you can just copy what I have here. Ask if you have questions!

Basically, this sets up a variable pig latin. It will add each letter but the first to pig latin, then add the first letter and “ay” to the end. How it loops through the input text is checking if the current letter is equal to empty; if you ask for a letter that is too big (for example, asking for letter 6 of “hello”, it will give you back an empty piece of text). We have this stored in the variable EMPTY for convenience.

I should probably have googled ‘pig latin’ before my earlier response!

@Cyoce's solution is fine but just use

If you're using input consisting of more than one word you'll need to look for separator characters - eg space, comma or whatever.

deck26, you're right, I forgot about the length of () block for strings. Added to my answer.
