NAME

       Lingua::Translit::Tables - provides transliteration tables

SYNOPSIS

         use Lingua::Translit::Tables qw/:checks/;

         my $truth;

         $truth = translit_supported("ISO 9");
         $truth = translit_reverse_supported("ISO 9");

         use Lingua::Translit::Tables qw/:list/;

         translit_list_supported();

DESCRIPTION

       This module is primary used to provide transliteration tables for Lingua::Translit and
       therefore allows one to separate data and algorithm.

       Beyond that, it provides routines to check if a given transliteration is supported and
       allows one to print a simple list of supported transliterations along with some meta
       information.

EXPORTS

       No symbols are exported by default.

       Use either the routine's name or one of the following tags to import symbols to your
       namespace.

       all Import all routines.

       checks
           Import all routines that allow one to check if a given transliteration is supported:
           translit_supported() and translit_reverse_supported().

       list
           Import translit_list_supported(). (Convenience tag)

ROUTINES

   translit_supported(translit_name)
       Returns true (1), iff translit_name is supported. False (0) otherwise.

   translit_reverse_supported(translit_name)
       Returns true (1), iff translit_name is supported and allows reverse transliteration. False
       (0) otherwise.

   translit_list_supported()
       Prints a list of all supported transliterations to STDOUT (UTF-8 encoded), providing the
       following information:

         * Name
         * Reversibility
         * Description

       The same information is provided in this document as well:

ADDING NEW TRANSLITERATIONS

       In case you want to add your own transliteration tables to Lingua::Translit, have a look
       at the developer documentation at
       <https://www.netzum-sorglos.de/software/lingua-translit/developer-documentation.html>.

       A template of a transliteration table is provided as well (xml/template.xml) so you can
       easily start developing.

BUGS

       None known.
