Title: Romanization for persian texts
Post by: datahell on March 23, 2007, 23:38:13

Please tell me if the following "romanization" makes sence to you (In Greek and other languages works very good).

Persian Text:

Persian romanized text:

The output is based on the input. So the script "translation" is good regarding to what we give it to translate. The script can not guess the vowels needed. It just convert existing utf-8 characters to ASCII via a character map. This feature is available for any language and may be implemented in Elxis 2007 for internal use.

does it support persian language?
i think without guess the vowels , translated sentences will not clear
then , this means the script doesn't support persian language?

i splited this topic to have a clear discussion about this topic

If you write Persian with vowels then you will have a romanized output with vowels. You can alternative add more things to character map but I guess for covering the whole Persian dictionary you should add many-many things. Experiment with the attached script if you like.

No no, I understand. It's ok, if the whole idea implemented in Elxis it will work fine (Persian without vowels, Romaniazed Persian with vowels).

By the way: Sorry, for writing English in your forum but their is no other way to talk with you  :(
