Translates input between UK and US spelling

Local spelling

Developed by Fast Data Science, https://fastdatascience.com

Source code at https://github.com/fastdatascience/localspelling

Python library for localising spelling between British and American conventions, conserving case.

Please note this library converts only spelling variants such as US “honour” vs UK “honor”.

It does not localise vocabulary such as “pavement” vs “sidewalk” or “aubergine” vs “eggplant”.

It also does not localise spellings where there is more than one correct conversion, such as US “program”, which corresponds to both “programme” and “program” in British spelling.

Requirements

Python 3.6 and above

Installation

pip install localspelling

Usage examples

Example 1

from localspelling import convert_spelling
convert_spelling("it has been an honor", "gb")

outputs ‘it has been an honour’

Example 2: you can retrieve the dictionary used for the single words (this won’t match wildcards like ‘-isation’)

from localspelling import get_dictionary
get_dictionary("us")["honour"]

outputs ‘honor’
