Answer 1

This code is basic, but it works. First, take care of the words that start with vowels. Otherwise, for words that start with one or more consonants, determine the number of consonants and move them to the end.

function translate(str) {
    str=str.toLowerCase();

    // for words that start with a vowel:
    if (["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"].indexOf(str[0]) > -1) {
        return str=str+"way";
    }

    // for words that start with one or more consonants
   else {
   //check for multiple consonants
       for (var i = 0; i -1){
               var firstcons = str.slice(0, i);
               var middle = str.slice(i, str.length);
               str = middle+firstcons+"ay";
               break;}
            }
    return str;}
}

translate("school");
