translation+transliteration for india/nepal/srilanka/bangladesh languages.

india/nepal/srilanka/bangladesh languages are now-a-days preferrably written in smallcase/unicase latin alphabets. so we can say for these indic languages : latin alphabets + english words + indic grammar is most used. so for india gtr (grammar translation) is required. such a custom translator project is a big project. other option (not so good , but easy) is to do transliteration after translation.
list of indic languages

1. tamil
2. hindi
3. telugu
4. malayalam
5. kannada
6. odia
7. nepali
8. marathi
9. sanskrit
10. gurmukhi punjabi / punzabi
11. bangla / bengali
12. gujarati / guzaraji

to do transliteration htrlib (hscii transliteration library) is used in 2 files .

after translated text ( English/other --to--> indic language ) , transliteration is done as :

1. linguist/site/translateLocales.ts
   

// linguist/site/translateLocales.ts
import { hsciistr } from 'htrlib';
const hsciistrobz = new hsciistr(
	hsciistr.from_dikt.ascii_and_indik,
	hsciistr.tu_dikt.inglish,
);
if (indiklcodes.includes(to)) {
	translatedText = hsciistrobz.setistr(translatedText).duztr().istr;
}

2. linguist/src/app/ContentScript/PageTranslator/PageTranslator.tsx

// linguist/src/app/ContentScript/PageTranslator/PageTranslator.tsx
import { hsciistr } from 'htrlib';
const hsciistrobz = new hsciistr(
	hsciistr.from_dikt.ascii_and_indik,
	hsciistr.tu_dikt.inglish,
);

const indiklcodes = [
    'hi',
    'gu',
    'pa',
    'bn',
    'si',
    'or',
    'kn',
    'ml',
    'tl',
    'ta',
];
if (indiklcodes.includes(to)) {
    translatedText = hsciistrobz.setistr(translatedText).duztr().istr;
}

other examples projects for transliteration only :

1. hsciiwapp
2. hscii font app
3. hscii font
