[NEW TOOL] Extending the "Text to NATO" spelling tool with other alphabets #794

Open taffit opened 9 months ago

taffit commented 9 months ago

What tool do you want? I would appreciate if the existing "Text to NATO"-tool can be extended using different spelling alphabets, e. g. for using the German one instead of the American spelling alphabet. This can be very useful for support requests with people from other countries than your own.
Additionally upper-/lowercase should be respected and ideally punctuation characters and numbers should be included as well.

Describe the solution you'd like Extend the existing one by adding a drop-down field/radio buttons where you can select the spelling alphabet to be used, e. g. the current English/American one.
Pasting e. g. "1 Awesome Tool!" would result in (numeral one) (space) Alpha whiskey echo sierra oscar mike echo (space) Tango oscar oscar lima (exclamation mark) (note, that only Alpha and Tango are uppercase) or, if the German one is selected, (Ziffer eins) (Leerzeichen) Aachen wuppertal essen salzwedel offenbach münchen essen (Leerzeichen) Tübingen offenbach offenbach leipzig (Ausrufezeichen).

Is their example of this tool in the wild? Something like the online tool here (which doesn't include numbers, punctuation marks, though, and doesn't respect the case). I've seen it at a commercial password manager, but probably can't include a screenshot here.

Additional context For support issues it would be very helpful if the case is respected. It would be especially useful if operating in or having to deal with users of a different country.

Uh, thank you @CorentinTh ! Can't wait for the new release to test it ... THANK YOU! It will be massively helpful for me, as I have to spell a lot over the telephone everyday.

Hi @CorentinTh, sounds like the PR is ok. Could you please merge ? Thanks

Sorry to ask, but as I'm eagerly expecting this functionality: what do I need to do to show up this feature in the next release? The implementation seems fine to me and it would help me a lot for spelling passwords etc. on the phone.

Edit: @sharevb : I just found a small issue. For the International and France entry, numbers are not transferred correctly. While for the other entries a string like 1 Aa+ is converted to (using e. g. Germany 2022) (1) (LEERZEICHEN) AACHEN aachen (+), we have the following for International (which is the ex-NATO-entry, I guess?): ONE (SPACE) ALFA alfa (+) and for the French: UN (ESPACE) ANATOLE anatole (+). I. e. the number should also just be put into parentheses: (1) (SPACE) ALFA alfa (+).

@CorentinTh : Anything I can do that this feature is considered for the next release?
