unidecode

Convert unicode strings into its ASCII representation.

The purpose of this library is the same as python's unidecode library (version 1.1.1).

Code of the initial release of this library has been extracted from GeneWeb and adapted to be released in an independent library.

Installation

opam install unidecode

License

Released under the terms of the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.

Limitations

  • Only supports NFC normalization form.
  • Transliteration targets french language (i.e. russian у gives ou while u could be expected). This will eventually be parameterizable.
  • Transliteration might produce strange casing (e.g. У produce OU while Ou could be expected). Choosing between default (current) behavior, lower casing, upper casing, and capitalization will eventually be an option.
