NAME

       translit - transliterate text between various writing systems

SYNOPSIS

       translit -t name -r -i file -o file -l -v -h

DESCRIPTION

       translit transliterates UTF-8 encoded natural language text from one writing system to
       another.

       It utilizes the Perl module Lingua::Translit to accomplish this task and follows the
       provided transliteration standards as strict as possible.

       translit regards the following commandline switches:

       --trans, -t name
           Use the transliteration standard named name.

       --reverse, -r
           Transliterate in reverse direction.

           NOTE: Not every transliteration is capable of being reversed.  If unsure, have a look
           at the list of supported transliterations using the --list switch.

       --infile, -i FILE
           Read text from FILE. Defaults to STDIN.

       --outfile, -o FILE
           Write the transliterated text to FILE. Defaults to STDOUT.

       --list, -l
           Print a list of supported transliterations showing their

           •   name

           •   reversibility

           •   description

       --verbose, -v
           Print verbose status messages to STDERR.

       --help, -h
           Show a short help text introducing command line switches only.

RESTRICTIONS

       The input has to be UTF-8 encoded.
