Lingua::Translit::Tables(3)                User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Lingua::Translit::Tables - provides transliteration tables

SYNOPSIS
         use Lingua::Translit::Tables qw/:checks/;

         my $truth;

         $truth = translit_supported("ISO 9");
         $truth = translit_reverse_supported("ISO 9");

         use Lingua::Translit::Tables qw/:list/;

         translit_list_supported();

DESCRIPTION
       This module is primary used to provide transliteration tables for
       Lingua::Translit and therefore allows one to separate data and
       algorithm.

       Beyond that, it provides routines to check if a given transliteration
       is supported and allows one to print a simple list of supported
       transliterations along with some meta information.

EXPORTS
       No symbols are exported by default.

       Use either the routine's name or one of the following tags to import
       symbols to your namespace.

       all Import all routines.

       checks
           Import all routines that allow one to check if a given
           transliteration is supported: translit_supported() and
           translit_reverse_supported().

       list
           Import translit_list_supported(). (Convenience tag)

ROUTINES
   translit_supported(translit_name)
       Returns true (1), iff translit_name is supported. False (0) otherwise.

   translit_reverse_supported(translit_name)
       Returns true (1), iff translit_name is supported and allows reverse
       transliteration. False (0) otherwise.

   translit_list_supported()
       Prints a list of all supported transliterations to STDOUT (UTF-8
       encoded), providing the following information:

         * Name
         * Reversibility
         * Description

       The same information is provided in this document as well:

ADDING NEW TRANSLITERATIONS
       In case you want to add your own transliteration tables to
       Lingua::Translit, have a look at the developer documentation at
       <https://www.netzum-sorglos.de/software/lingua-translit/developer-documentation.html>.

       A template of a transliteration table is provided as well
       (xml/template.xml) so you can easily start developing.

BUGS
       None known.
