m sure this is correct, but the expected translates you to youyay (as if it begins with a vowel). But heres my go, it deals with the punctuation, casing and spaces (so many trailing spaces 😮 ) would like to come back to this and make it more reasuable.

Quite a bit of tweaking involved in this problem!

Close enough. Spent enough time on this. Didn't capitalize sentences and I have some incorrect quotes. Learned about the ::punct:: regex though.

There has to be a cleaner solution than this. But I did want to make sure that any group of consonants however long, would be properly translated (thinking of words like "chrysalis").

Had to do it two times because I didn't like how I did it the first time.

Surprisingly complicated with all the different possibilities....

This is a great example of

a) a challenge that is directly tied to some of the interactive training that's available  https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Interactive-Lessons/Using-RegEx-in-Expressions/ta-p/424427

b) a workflow that is different during development than the final product

 

Good fun - thank you!

Build this using a flow that broke this into one word at a time to make it easier to debug:
Trick is to use Regex that uses named elements ($1) to do this fairly simply

The final flow then removes the TextToColumns tools to keep the sentances whole.

There are a number of different solutions here, I have used regex in mine, but I'm not sure how well it would work if there were numbers as well as letters.

There are two important things we should concern in this case:

1) The Message will be truncated due to its format (V_String-89), so we should modify the format first.

2) About the Pig_Latin rules, I used "A/E/I/O/U" as the key to find out transfer rules. But there's an exception when I compare the result. That is "you", we should transfer it to "youyay" other than "ouyay". So I added "you" into vowel list.
