from translit.Transliterator import Transliterator
from translit.DeTransliterator import DeTransliterator

transliterator = Transliterator("Telugu")
text = u'ప్రియాంక విప్పారిత నేత్రాలతో త్రినాధ్ కేసే మౌనంగా చూస్తుండి పోయింది.'
trans_text = transliterator.transliterate(text)

# priyāṁka vippārita nētrālatō trinādh kēsē maunaṁgā cūstuṁḍi pōyiṁdi.

Known Issues

1. The (de)transliterations output for Malayalam are not one-to-one due to different representations for the same sound, such as ൿ and ക്, ർ and റ്, ൻ and ന്. Feedback is sought for the correctness of the current state and what needs to be done to make them correct. There are no known issues for the remaining languages. The community is encouraged to report more issues.
