[sword-devel] Transliterations

[Jerry Hastings]

Chris and Troy.

Here is a rough draft of the help for the new transliteration feature in 
BibleCS:

Transliteration changes a text from the script that would be displayed into 
a transliteration of it. If the text was Greek, an alpha would become an 
"A" or "a", and a beta would become a "B" or "b". This is useful when 
documents are prepared for sharing with others that may not be able to 
display the native script. For posting text to a newsgroup or an email 
list, a transliteration is often the standard format. Transliteration works 
for Greek, Hebrew and many other languages.

Comments or suggestions?

After looking at the B-Greek right click copy feature you told me about. It 
seems to me that generalizing the B-Greek right click copy feature to a 
Copy as Transliteration feature, where one could select any of the 
transliterations and use it on many modules, would often be better than 
turning transliteration on and off. I would keep the on/off option but add 
the copy as transliteration.
