How can I transliterate a Russian phrase with c# programmatically? For example: "Мне на кризис наплевать, вылез в топе гоу бухать?"

1@Justin the alphabet is Cyrillic, so odds are good it's Russian. – CanSpice Apr 28 '11 at 18:52

@Justin - Russian (I think). Reach - Stack Overflow is an English language site, so can you please post in English. – ChrisF Apr 28 '11 at 18:52

I don't know, use the Google Translate Javascript API?
Or maybe the Transliteration API?

1Translation is NOT the same as transliteration. This answer is wrong wrong wrong. – jason Apr 28 '11 at 18:53

They have a REST API too so he could probably formulate a call from within .NET through HTTP – slandau Apr 28 '11 at 18:54

@Jason - title says translate, post doesn't. @Reach - can you clarify? – slandau Apr 28 '11 at 18:54

Right, they have both a translation API and a transliteration API :-) – John Bledsoe Apr 28 '11 at 18:54

2@slandau: Someone edited it to say "translate." The original title did not. People who don't know shouldn't be editing titles. – jason Apr 28 '11 at 18:55

@Reach: There are plenty of examples here: http://code.google.com/apis/language/transliterate/v1/getting_started.html – Jim Mischel Apr 28 '11 at 19:36

Well, you need to come up with a set of transliteration rules (effectively a mapping from Cyrillic character codes to Latin alphabet character codes). Then for a given stream of words encoded in the Cyrillic alphabet, just apply the mapping and produce the resulting stream of words encoded in the Latin alphabet.

2+1. A small note: Since I've had some experience with transliterating my first language (Greek) I must add that this process is not always easy. The reason is that diphthongs in each language may produce totally different sounds than normally expected. So if the poster considers making mapping rules, make sure you prioritize diphthong parsing and then normal letter transliteration. – nantito Apr 28 '11 at 19:06
