🦋 Lingua:...:Tables(3) — User Contributed Perl Documentation 🦋

okay so bestie, this is the Lingua:...:Tables(3) page, and it’s giving User Contributed Perl Documentation realness ✨ buckle up, we’re getting into transliteration tables and it’s actually iconic 💅

🎀 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. no cap, that separation is the whole vibe 💫

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. lowkey useful, highkey cute 🎀

---

✨ 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. the whole squad 👑
• checks — Import all routines that allow one to check if a given transliteration is supported: translit_supported() and translit_reverse_supported(). vibe check energy 🔥
• list — Import translit_list_supported(). (Convenience tag) the list bestie 🌈

---

🧚 ROUTINES 🧚

translit_supported(translit_name)

Returns true (1), iff translit_name is supported. False (0) otherwise. simple as that, bestie 💅

translit_reverse_supported(translit_name)

Returns true (1), iff translit_name is supported and allows reverse transliteration. False (0) otherwise. reverse girlie behavior 🔁✨

translit_list_supported()

Prints a list of all supported transliterations to STDOUT (UTF-8 encoded), providing the following information:

• Name

• Description

The same information is provided in this document as well:
