A Pig Latin Translation Microservice

Project description

A flask-based microservice to translate english text to pig latin. Wikipedia Link.

Pig Latin is a language game in which words in English are altered. The objective is to conceal the words from others not familiar with the rules.

Pig Latin is simply a form of jargon with rules. The Rules are described later

Demo

You can try your own examples at a web form here.

Example Usage

The fastest way to get started is to request this service from the demo api

Curl

curl --request POST \
  --url https://piglatin.jaichaudhary.com/api/translate \
  --form 'text=How do you say ... in Pig Latin?'

Python

import requests
url = "https://piglatin.jaichaudhary.com/api/translate"
payload = {"text": "How do you say ... in Pig Latin?"}
response = requests.request("POST", url, data=payload)
print response.text

You should see a response like

{
  "text": "Owhay oday ouyay aysay ... inyay Igpay Atinlay?"
}

Rules

If word begins with consonant sound, all letters before the initial vowel are placed at the end of the word sequence. Then, “ay” is added.

  • pig => igpay

  • banana => ananabay

  • trash => ashtray

  • happy => appyhay

  • duck => uckday

  • glove => oveglay

If word begins with vowel sounds or a silent letter, one just adds “yay” to the end.

  • eat => eatyay

  • omelet => omeletyay

  • are => areyay

Silent Letters

In order to infer silent letters cmu pronunication corpus of 134K words was used(http://www.nltk.org/_modules/nltk/corpus/reader/cmudict.html). The words with silent first letter were filtered into silent_words.json. Among them the most common prefixes were chosen as approximation of silent words. These include ( “pf”, “ph”, “ps”, “pn”, “pt”, “wr”, “ts”, “gn”, “kn”, “jo”, “he”)
