indic_transliteration package for transliteration #23

Open drdhaval2785 opened 3 years ago

drdhaval2785 commented 3 years ago

The transcoders can be given a rest and this package may be used for transliteration. It would be easier to manage. https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/MWinflect/issues/4#issuecomment-431319144 mentioned it.

Jim had a concern whether this supports accents or not. If does not support, we can add the support. I am one of the owner of the repository. Other collaborators are quite responsive too.

What is required?

drdhaval2785 commented 3 years ago

I vaguely remember Peter mentioning that SLP1 is just the starting, most basic form of encoding for Sanskrit. He has SLP2, SLP3, SLP4 encodings for complex works. I guess if we can implement SLP4 to Devanagarivand vice versa without information loss, every case would be covered. It may be an overkill though.

Looking at https://sanskritlibrary.org/Sanskrit/pub/lies_sl.pdf Appendix D, I feel SLP1 with some special characters mentioned there should suffice for us.

https://github.com/sanskrit-coders/indic_transliteration/issues/33 was the discussion I started. Never ventured to fulfil it.
