Usage

Three-Way Transliteration

Your Banglish library now supports three-way conversion between English, Banglish, and Bengali:

# Import all conversion functions
import banglish as bnlish

# 1. English to Banglish
english_text = "I am very good today"
banglish_text = bnlish.en_to_banglish(english_text)
print(banglish_text)  # Output: 

# 2. Banglish to English  
banglish_text = "ridoye tomar kirtan baje"
english_text = bnlish.banglish_to_en(banglish_text)
print(english_text)  # Output: 

# 3. Banglish to Bengali
banglish_text = "ridoye tomar kirtan baje"
bengali_text = bnlish.banglish_to_bn(banglish_text)
print(bengali_text)  # Output: হৃদয়ে তোমার কীর্তন বাজে

# 4. Bengali to Banglish
bengali_text = "হৃদয়ে তোমার কীর্তন বাজে"
banglish_text = bnlish.bn_to_banglish(bengali_text)
print(banglish_text)  # Output: ridoye tomar kirtan baje

Advanced Usage

# For more control, use the translator class
import banglish as bnlish
translator = bnlish.BanglishTranslator()

# Direct method calls
print(translator.to_banglish("tumi kemon acho"))  # English to Bengali
print(translator.to_banglish_from_bengali("তুমি কেমন আছো"))  # Bengali to English

# Word suggestions
suggestions = translator.suggest("bha")
print(suggestions)  # [{'english': 'bhalo', 'bangla': 'ভালো'}, ...]
