Cyrillic -> Latin: Cyrillic.t("Кириллица") => "Kirillitsa"

Cyrillic is a Ruby gem for the romanization (transliteration) of Cyrillic script into the Latin alphabet. It provides a simple and flexible way to convert Cyrillic text using various international and language-specific standards.

This gem supports multiple transliteration standards:

• generic (Default)
• iso9
• ukrainian
• ukrainian passport
• mongolian
• german

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cyrillic'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cyrillic

The gem provides a simple interface through the Cyrillic.t (or Cyrillic.transliterate) method.

By default, it uses a generic transliteration scheme.

require "cyrillic"

Cyrillic.t("Кириллица")
#=> "Kirillitsa"

You can specify a transliteration standard by passing a symbol as the second argument.

Cyrillic.transliterate("Кириллица", :iso9)
#=> "Kirillica"

Cyrillic.transliterate("Кирилиця", :ukrainian)
#=> "Kyrylytsia"

Cyrillic.t("Монгол хэл", :mongolian)
#=> "Mongol khel"

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install development dependencies.

To run the test suite, use the rake command:

$ rake

You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment with the gem.
