Getting コーヒー #7

Open matthewkrom opened 9 years ago

matthewkrom commented 9 years ago

Hi! If I do "koohii" to katakana, I'm missing the ー. I see instead コオヒイ. I should add that I am just learning Japanese as a beginner. Is the lack of ー OK for native speakers? Or, is this something I could contribute a "pull" request for? (Assuming I find proper examples to add to the spec)

Hi, Matt. A valid representation of "コーヒー" (coffee) in romaji is:

 _ _
kohi

 or

 ^ ^
kohi

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese for detail)

I found the way of representing long vowels in this library.

require "romaji"
require "romaji/core_ext/string"

puts "ko-hi-".kana #=> コーヒー

I also think this should be added to spec :)
