UzTransliterator 2.0.2

Features

• Transliteration Between 3 Uzbek Scripts: Full support for bidirectional transliteration between all 3 writing scripts used in Uzbek: Cyrillic, Latin, and New Latin.
• Rule-based & Statistical Engine: Correctly handles context-sensitive rules (such as Е/е, Ц/ц, Ё/Ю/Я, Roman numerals, dates, hyphenation, and exception words).
• Lightweight & Fast: Direct Python library execution without external API dependencies.

Installation

Install the package via PyPI:

pip install UzTransliterator

Usage

from UzTransliterator import UzTransliterator

# Initialize transliterator object
obj = UzTransliterator()

latin_text = obj.transliterate("мактаб", from_="cyr", to="lat")
print(latin_text)  # Output: maktab

# Transliterate from Cyrillic to New Latin (Yangi Lotin)
new_latin_text = obj.transliterate("Ўзбекистон шаҳарлари гўзал", from_="cyr", to="nlt")
print(new_latin_text)  # Output: Özbekiston şaharlari gözal

# Transliterate from Latin to New Latin
nlt_text = obj.transliterate("O‘zbekiston, g‘alaba, shahar", from_="lat", to="nlt")
print(nlt_text)  # Output: Özbekiston, ğalaba, şahar,
