The function will take the first letter of each word in the sentence only if it’s a not a vowel, and place it at the end of the word followed by “ay”.

Your program must be case ​ins​ ensitive. You must write the functiontranslate() ​that takes in a single English word and ​returns​ its Pig Latin translation. Remembertranslatemusttake​onlyonewordasinput.​
