Transliterator Plugin for QGIS

📌 Overview

The Transliterator Plugin recognizes the Georgian alphabet and transliterates it into Latin script within a newly created field in a vector layer.

🔥 Features

• Automatically detects Georgian text in the selected field.
• Creates a new field with the transliterated Latin text.
• Ensures the original field supports Georgian fonts.
• Shapefile compatibility warning: Field names are limited to 10 characters, so the script appends "_lat" to the new field name.
• Works seamlessly within QGIS.

⚠️ Important Notes

• If using Shapefiles, make sure your field name is short enough (max 8 characters), as the plugin adds "_lat" to the new field name.
• If you need longer field names, consider using GeoPackage (GPKG) or PostgreSQL instead of Shapefiles.

🛠️ Installation

1. Download or clone the plugin repository.
2. Load the plugin in QGIS from the Plugin Manager.

🚀 Usage
