jTransliterate - [Hirag/Katak]ana to Latin/English & Back
|
|
===========================================================================
|
|
Sometimes you may want to convert from Hiragana to Katakana, or back again, or...
|
|
I dunno, maybe you wanna get the English pronunciation of these words. I'll
|
|
be honest and say it's of no concern or interest to me, but I needed this in
|
|
Python and so I ported it, figured I'd release it.

It's MIT licensed. Credit for much of this also belongs to Kim Ahlström and

his linguistics/etc work on **[Ve](https://github.com/Kimtaro/ve/blob/master/lib/providers/japanese_transliterators.rb)**.
