Lingua::Translit::Tables(3)

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 <http://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.
