Pig Latin Translater

Implement a Ruby class called Translater with a class method called to_pig that takes a word (string) as an argument and returns its pig latin equivalent. Description of the rules from Wikipedia:

For 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:

Step 1

Write rspec tests to check the following outputs

• "happy" → "appyhay"
• "duck" → "uckday"
• "glove" → "oveglay"

For words that begin with vowel sounds or silent letter, "way" is added at the end of the word. Examples are

• "egg" → "eggway"
• "inbox" → "inboxway"
• "eight" → "eightway"

The letter 'y' can play the role of either consonant or vowel, depending on its location

• "yellow" → "ellowyay"
• "rhythm" → "ythmrhay"

How do you deal with words starting with "qu" or "squ" ?

• "queen" → "eenquay"
• "squeal" → "ealsquay"

Step 2

Make them pass with some sweet code.
