"""
2+
This program converts English text to Pig-Latin. In Pig-Latin, we take the first letter of each word,
3+
move it to the end, and add 'ay'. If the first letter is a vowel, we simply add 'hay' to the end.
4+
The program preserves capitalization and title case.
5+
6+
For example:
7+
- "Hello" becomes "Ellohay"
8+
- "Image" becomes "Imagehay"
9+
- "My name is John Smith" becomes "Ymay amenay ishay Ohnjay Mithsmay"
