💖 TRANSLIT 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for translit, from section 1p (user contributed Perl documentation, iykyk) 🫶 — and honestly? it's giving "small tool, huge main character energy."

✨ NAME ✨

translit — transliterate text between various writing systems 🌈

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

translit -t name -r -i file -o file -l -v -h

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. translit takes UTF-8 encoded natural language text and transliterates it from one writing system to another. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it beautifully. 💅

it uses the Perl module Lingua::Translit to do the actual work, and it follows the transliteration standards it ships with as strictly as possible. no vibes-based shortcuts here, bestie — the standards are the standards, periodt. 👑

and translit? she regards the following commandline switches. yes, regards them. so fancy of her.

  • --trans, -t name — use the transliteration standard named name. like, pick your fighter. 🎀
  • --reverse, -r — transliterate in the reverse direction. ⏪
NOTE: not every transliteration can actually be reversed, okay?? some of them are simply not reversible, no cap. if you're unsure, go peek at the list of supported transliterations with the --list switch. 🔍
  • --infile, -i FILE — read the text from FILE. defaults to STDIN.
  • --outfile, -o FILE — write the transliterated text to FILE. defaults to STDOUT.
  • --list, -l — print a list of supported transliterations showing their:
    • name
    • reversibility
    • description

a whole lil catalog, bestie. browse away. 📚✨

  • --verbose, -v — print verbose status messages to STDERR. she's chatty and we love that for her. 🗣️
  • --help, -h — show a short help text introducing command line switches only. just the switches! nothing more, don't get greedy. 🙈

🎀 RESTRICTIONS 🎀

the input has to be UTF-8 encoded. that's not a suggestion, that's the law. 😤

💀 BUGS 💀

None known.

that's right. zero. none. flawless behavior, we stay unbothered. 👑
