Status: alpha

Go bindings for Aksharamukha, a script converter and transliteration tool for various Indic and other scripts.

Features

• Transliteration between 100+ scripts
• Romanization of text using ISO/academic standards
• Support for various Indic, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern scripts
• Docker-based deployment
• Script autoselection for language romanization
• Customizable transliteration options

⚠️ While many scripts are supported I would not recommend using Aksharamukha for anything but romanization of indic languages or transliteration between indic languages. ⚠️

Quick Start

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	ak "github.com/tassa-yoniso-manasi-karoto/go-aksharamukha"
)

func main() {
	if err := ak.Init(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer ak.Close()

	// Simple transliteration
	text := "नमस्ते"
	result, err := ak.TranslitSimple(text, ak.Devanagari, ak.Tamil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(result)

	// Romanization from a ISO-639 language code, in this example, to the ISO 15919 romanization scheme
	// the default romanization scheme per language if available in static.go
	result, err = ak.Roman("नमस्ते", "hin")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(result)
}
