Iuliia
Transliterate Cyrillic → Latin in every possible way
Transliteration means representing Cyrillic data (mainly names and geographic locations) with Latin letters. It is used for international passports, visas, green cards, driving licenses, mail and goods delivery etc.
Iuliia makes transliteration as easy as:
>>> import iuliia
>>> iuliia.translate("Юлия Щеглова", schema=iuliia.WIKIPEDIA)
'Yuliya Shcheglova'
Why use Iuliia
- 20 transliteration schemas (rule sets), including all main international and Russian standards.
- Correctly implements not only the base mapping, but all the special rules for letter combinations and word endings (AFAIK, Iuliia is the only library which does so).
- Simple API and zero third-party dependencies.
For schema details and other information, see iuliia.ru (in Russian).
Installation
