NAME
       translit - transliterate text between various writing systems

SYNOPSIS
       translit -t name -r -i file -o file -l -v -h

DESCRIPTION
       translit transliterates UTF-8 encoded natural language text from one
       writing system to another.

       It utilizes the Perl module Lingua::Translit to accomplish this task
       and follows the provided transliteration standards as strict as
       possible.

       translit regards the following commandline switches:

       --trans, -t name
           Use the transliteration standard named name.

       --reverse, -r
           Transliterate in reverse direction.

           NOTE: Not every transliteration is capable of being reversed.  If
           unsure, have a look at the list of supported transliterations using
           the --list switch.

       --infile, -i FILE
           Read text from FILE. Defaults to STDIN.

       --outfile, -o FILE
           Write the transliterated text to FILE. Defaults to STDOUT.

       --list, -l
           Print a list of supported transliterations showing their

           o   name

           o   reversibility

           o   description

       --verbose, -v
           Print verbose status messages to STDERR.

       --help, -h
           Show a short help text introducing command line switches only.

RESTRICTIONS
       The input has to be UTF-8 encoded.

BUGS
       None known.
