English to pig latin program help

[mnplus1556]

Hey everyone. I am trying to get a program working to convert an English sentence into a pig latin sentence. I don't have much right now but I have little to go off of or direction. Please help!

if you want to see what i have to do you can check out:

thanks to anyone that helps and gives me some kind of direction!


#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>

using namespace std;


int main(void)
{
cout << "\n\n\t\tWelcome to the Pig Lating Program!";
vector<string> phrase();
cout << "\n\nPlease enter your phrase: ";
bool more = true;
while(more)
{
string word;
cin >> word;
if( word[word.length()] = '.')
{
more = false;
}
else
{
phrase.push_back(word);
}
}




cout << "Thanks, that was " << phrase.size() << " words.";


return 0;
}

okay so now i have a little more after a few hours haha but i don't know how to go about checking if the next char is a vowel or constant then how to move that to the end. any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>

using namespace std;

bool is_vowel(string c);

int main(void)
{
    cout << "\n\n\t\tWelcome to the Pig Lating Program!";
    vector<string> phrase;
    cout << "\n\nPlease enter your phrase: ";
    bool more = true;
    do
    {
        string word;
        cin >> word;
        phrase.push_back(word);
        if( word[word.length()-1] == '.')
        {
            more = false;
        }
    } while(more);
    
    for( vector<short>::size_type i = 0; i <= ( phrase.size() - 1 ); i++)
    {
        if( is_vowel( phrase[i] ) )
        {
            phrase[i] += "yay";
        }
        else
        {
            if(
    }

    
    for( vector<short>::size_type phrase_pos = 0; phrase_pos != (phrase.size() - 1); phrase_pos++)
    {
        cout << phrase[phrase_pos] << ' ';
    }
    cout << phrase.back();
    
    
    return 0;
}


bool is_vowel(string c)
{
    char b = tolower(c[0]);
    return b == 'a' || b == 'e' || b == 'i' || b == 'o' || b == 'u';

updated version:

#include<iostream>   //need to: remove period and constant starting words aren't working(the constant is cut
//off in the beginning then disappears). the constant should be thrown onto the end of the word then ay
//added. also have to include qu thing and if the word ends in y.
//words starting with a vowel do just fine
