copied!<p>Initially I tried to build on the basic function you did above, but I quickly learned that a single Cyrillic character may map to MULTIPLE Latin characters - so doing a "char" replacement just doesn't do the job.</p> <p>There's probably a better way to do this, but here's the function I came up with.</p> <pre><code>public static String transliterate(String srcstring) { ArrayList<String> copyTo = new ArrayList<String>(); String cyrcodes = ""; for (int i=1040;i<=1067;i++) { cyrcodes = cyrcodes + (char)i; } for (int j=1072;j<=1099;j++) { cyrcodes = cyrcodes + (char)j; } // Uppercase copyTo.add("A"); copyTo.add("B"); copyTo.add("V"); copyTo.add("G"); copyTo.add("D"); copyTo.add("E"); copyTo.add("Zh"); copyTo.add("Z"); copyTo.add("I"); copyTo.add("I"); copyTo.add("K"); copyTo.add("L"); copyTo.add("M"); copyTo.add("N"); copyTo.add("O"); copyTo.add("P"); copyTo.add("R"); copyTo.add("S"); copyTo.add("T"); copyTo.add("U"); copyTo.add("F"); copyTo.add("Kh"); copyTo.add("TS"); copyTo.add("Ch"); copyTo.add("Sh"); copyTo.add("Shch"); copyTo.add(""); copyTo.add("Y"); // lowercase copyTo.add("a"); copyTo.add("b"); copyTo.add("v"); copyTo.add("g"); copyTo.add("d"); copyTo.add("e"); copyTo.add("zh"); copyTo.add("z"); copyTo.add("i"); copyTo.add("i"); copyTo.add("k"); copyTo.add("l"); copyTo.add("m"); copyTo.add("n"); copyTo.add("o"); copyTo.add("p"); copyTo.add("r"); copyTo.add("s"); copyTo.add("t"); copyTo.add("u"); copyTo.add("f"); copyTo.add("kh"); copyTo.add("ts"); copyTo.add("ch"); copyTo.add("sh"); copyTo.add("shch"); copyTo.add(""); copyTo.add("y"); String newstring = ""; char onechar; int replacewith; for (int j=0; j<srcstring.length();j++) { onechar = srcstring.charAt(j); replacewith = cyrcodes.indexOf((int)onechar); if (replacewith > -1) { newstring = newstring + copyTo.get(replacewith); } else { // keep the original character, not in replace list newstring = newstring + String.valueOf(onechar); } } return newstring; } </code></pre>
