Pig Latin:
Pig Latin is a way of altering English Words. The rules are as follows:
    If a word begins with a consonant, take the first consonant or consonant cluster, move it to the end of the word, and add ay to it.
    If a word begins with a vowel, just add way at the end.
Translate the provided string to Pig Latin. Input strings are guaranteed to be English words in all lowercase.

- translatePigLatin("california") should return the string aliforniacay.
- translatePigLatin("paragraphs") should return the string aragraphspay.
- translatePigLatin("glove") should return the string oveglay.
- translatePigLatin("algorithm") should return the string algorithmway.
- translatePigLatin("eight") should return the string eightway.
- Should handle words where the first vowel comes in the middle of the word. translatePigLatin("schwartz") should return the string artzschway.
- Should handle words without vowels. translatePigLatin("rhythm") should return the string rhythmay.
