Module: RuTranslit

Defined in:
lib/ru_translit.rb,
lib/transliteration/version.rb

Overview

Transliteration as well as De-/Retransliteration between russian cyrillic and English, German and Scientific transliterations. Accounts for context-dependent transliteration rules. Current limitations:

  • Only one word per pass (technically, it should work for multiple words, but the number of variations returned likely grows beyond manageability).

  • Everything will be downcased.

  • No distinction between the different translit variants: Just one list with all possible options gets returned.
