Latinizer

A string-translating module responsible for getting rid of diacritic signs in strings

Installation

Available in Hex.

The package can be installed by adding latinizer to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:latinizer, "~> 0.3.0"}]
end

Usage

The lib allows you to transcribe strings containing characters used in most of the European languages (e.g. Polish, Russian, Swedish, French etc.) to string containing only latin. It can be used as follows:

iex> Latinizer.latinize "Pchnij w tę łódź jeża lub ośm skrzyń fig."
"Pchnij w te lodz jeza lub osm skrzyn fig."

iex>  Latinizer.latinize "Pchnij w tę łódź jeża lub ośm skrzyń fig.", only: ["ż", "ę"]    
"Pchnij w te łódź jeza lub ośm skrzyń fig."

iex> Latinizer.latinize "В начале было Слово, и Слово было у Бога, и Слово было Бог." 
"V nachale bylo Slovo, i Slovo bylo u Boga, i Slovo bylo Bog."
