Sanskrit Transliteration Tool
|
|
=============================
|
|
This is a tool for romanisation of Sanskrit texts written in the Devanagari
|
|
script. It handles only the classic Sanskrit character set so it cannot be
|
|
used to transliterate modern Hindi.
|
|
|
|
The program is able to perform bidirectional transliteration: by default, it
|
|
romanises Sanskrit texts written in Devanagari using the International Alphabet
|
|
of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST); alternatively it can be used for reverse
|
|
transliteration of IAST encoded texts into Devanagari.
|
|
|
|
For more details on the usage of the program and the requirements for the input
|
|
data, see the included manual page iast(1).
