Is Russian to ASCII correct? about portable-ascii HOT 17 CLOSED

@Hlaford the problem is that there are multiple standards that are not deprecated.

from portable-ascii.

So solution would be allowing to choose a standard.

from portable-ascii.

There are multiple ways to tranlit and there are many GOSTs (state standards). Using the one for passports would produce "lysaia gora".

from portable-ascii.

No, that won't work well. If it's something like generating slugs for an article title, that doesn't matter much which standard is used. If it's passport names, your users may get in trouble if you aren't using correct standard. If your service if exchanging info with state road police, it matters to use correct standard for road signs and street names.

Thank you for the review & feedback. 👍

http://translit.cc/ for rescue, this specific case will be "lysaja gora".

Thanks @kalessil I have merged the suggestions from "translit.ru" and "translit.cc" here: https://github.com/voku/portable-ascii/blob/master/src/voku/helper/data/ascii_by_languages.php#L468

I would use this one, actually. It is GOSTed (i.e. standardized).

from portable-ascii.

Do different standards all have the same language code?

from portable-ascii.

Yes.

Hmm, I guess we just need to choose a standard.

+1 for "So solution would be allowing to choose a standard."

from portable-ascii.

@samdark Ok, so what standards do a normal application / user need?

"Passport (2013)" + "GOST 7.79-2000(B)"?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Russian#content-collapsible-block-1

from portable-ascii.

Yes. Would be enough for many typical cases.

from portable-ascii.

@samdark I added mappings for "ru__passport_2013" && "ru__gost_2000_b" (copy&past from wikipedia).

Can you please take a look at it, here is a test case for the string "лысая гора": a2b1920

Mappings:

• Russian - Passport (2013), ICAO | https://github.com/voku/portable-ascii/blob/master/src/voku/helper/data/ascii_by_languages.php#L539
• Russian - GOST 7.79-2000(B) | https://github.com/voku/portable-ascii/blob/master/src/voku/helper/data/ascii_by_languages.php#L641

from portable-ascii.

Looks OK to me.
