I made this function:
function transliterate(word){
var answer = "";
A = new Array();
A["Ё"]="YO";A["Й"]="I";A["Ц"]="TS";A["У"]="U";A["К"]="K";A["Е"]="E";A["Н"]="N";A["Г"]="G";A["Ш"]="SH";A["Щ"]="SCH";A["З"]="Z";A["Х"]="H";A["Ъ"]="'";
A["ё"]="yo";A["й"]="i";A["ц"]="ts";A["у"]="u";A["к"]="k";A["е"]="e";A["н"]="n";A["г"]="g";A["ш"]="sh";A["щ"]="sch";A["з"]="z";A["х"]="h";A["ъ"]="'";
A["Ф"]="F";A["Ы"]="I";A["В"]="V";A["А"]="A";A["П"]="P";A["Р"]="R";A["О"]="O";A["Л"]="L";A["Д"]="D";A["Ж"]="ZH";A["Э"]="E";
A["ф"]="f";A["ы"]="i";A["в"]="v";A["а"]="a";A["п"]="p";A["р"]="r";A["о"]="o";A["л"]="l";A["д"]="d";A["ж"]="zh";A["э"]="e";
A["Я"]="YA";A["Ч"]="CH";A["С"]="S";A["М"]="M";A["И"]="I";A["Т"]="T";A["Ь"]="'";A["Б"]="B";A["Ю"]="YU";
A["я"]="ya";A["ч"]="ch";A["с"]="s";A["м"]="m";A["и"]="i";A["т"]="t";A["ь"]="'";A["б"]="b";A["ю"]="yu";
for (i in word){
if (A[word[i]] === 'undefined'){
answer += word[i];
}
else {
answer += A[word[i]];
}
return answer;
}
}
Now it should transliterate cyrillic text to latin and let latin simply pass. But it only manages to transliterate the first later and in case of latin it gives undefined as an answer. Could anyone give me an idea, what am i doing wrong?
Couple of things...
Here is the code
function transliterate(word){
var answer = ""
, a = {};
a["Ё"]="YO";a["Й"]="I";a["Ц"]="TS";a["У"]="U";a["К"]="K";a["Е"]="E";a["Н"]="N";a["Г"]="G";a["Ш"]="SH";a["Щ"]="SCH";a["З"]="Z";a["Х"]="H";a["Ъ"]="'";
a["ё"]="yo";a["й"]="i";a["ц"]="ts";a["у"]="u";a["к"]="k";a["е"]="e";a["н"]="n";a["г"]="g";a["ш"]="sh";a["щ"]="sch";a["з"]="z";a["х"]="h";a["ъ"]="'";
a["Ф"]="F";a["Ы"]="I";a["В"]="V";a["А"]="a";a["П"]="P";a["Р"]="R";a["О"]="O";a["Л"]="L";a["Д"]="D";a["Ж"]="ZH";a["Э"]="E";
a["ф"]="f";a["ы"]="i";a["в"]="v";a["а"]="a";a["п"]="p";a["р"]="r";a["о"]="o";a["л"]="l";a["д"]="d";a["ж"]="zh";a["э"]="e";
a["Я"]="Ya";a["Ч"]="CH";a["С"]="S";a["М"]="M";a["И"]="I";a["Т"]="T";a["Ь"]="'";a["Б"]="B";a["Ю"]="YU";
a["я"]="ya";a["ч"]="ch";a["с"]="s";a["м"]="m";a["и"]="i";a["т"]="t";a["ь"]="'";a["б"]="b";a["ю"]="yu";
for (i in word){
if (word.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
if (a[word[i]] === undefined){
answer += word[i];
} else {
answer += a[word[i]];
}
}
}
return answer;
}
More functional one is like this...
var a = {"Ё":"YO","Й":"I","Ц":"TS","У":"U","К":"K","Е":"E","Н":"N","Г":"G","Ш":"SH","Щ":"SCH","З":"Z","Х":"H","Ъ":"'","ё":"yo","й":"i","ц":"ts","у":"u","к":"k","е":"e","н":"n","г":"g","ш":"sh","щ":"sch","з":"z","х":"h","ъ":"'","Ф":"F","Ы":"I","В":"V","А":"a","П":"P","Р":"R","О":"O","Л":"L","Д":"D","Ж":"ZH","Э":"E","ф":"f","ы":"i","в":"v","а":"a","п":"p","р":"r","о":"o","л":"l","д":"d","ж":"zh","э":"e","Я":"Ya","Ч":"CH","С":"S","М":"M","И":"I","Т":"T","Ь":"'","Б":"B","Ю":"YU","я":"ya","ч":"ch","с":"s","м":"m","и":"i","т":"t","ь":"'","б":"b","ю":"yu"};
function transliterate(word){
return word.split('').map(function (char) {
return a[char] || char;
}).join("");
}
