ICU custom transliteration?

Transliterators are sourced from CLDR you could add your transliterator to CLDR (the crosswire directory contains it in XML format in the cldr/ directory) and rebuild ICU data. ICU doesn't have a simple mechanism for adding transliterators as you are trying to do. What I would do is forget about trnslocal.Mk or custom.

Txt as you don't need to add any files, and simply modify root. Txt - you might file a bug if you have a suggested improvement.

Thank you once again for a helpful answer! I should say that I have found ICU to really be the best package of its kind, and I appreciate the work you all put into it. I might file a bug report about trnslocal, because it is mentioned briefly in the documentation, but the root.

Txt solution works well for us. – Nat Jun 10 at 15:27 welcome. The problem isn't trnslocal - trnslocal works great for adding additional locales - containing additional translations of the NAMES of transliterators.

The problem is that the process for adding new transliterators is both undocumented and cumbersome. They need to be stored within the root bundle. CLDR's transliterator process however is well documented.As is the generation of ICU data from CLDR.

So you are hand editing files that we don't normally modify. – Steven R. Loomis Jun 10 at 16:44.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
