Since you found the Pig Latin, you must have passed the translator
right by without realising it.  But, to minimise confusion, and in
case there's anyone else who'd like to know, here's how I got there
step by step:

1. Go to www.google.com.

2. Just to the right of the box for typing in your search terms, there
are three clickies:
Advanced Search
Preferences
Language Tools

Click on "Language Tools."

3. There are several light blue boxes, each for doing something wrt
languages.  This is where I guess Sophia ended up: the third one down
contains language choices to have Google translated into, including
the Pig Latin.

Well, the *second* light blue box is labeled "Translate."  Just type
the text you want translated into the text box, and just below it
choose which languages you want to translate from and to, from the
choices they give you.

Hope this is helpful to Sophia and anyone else who may have missed the
original message.  :-)
