The DLx transliteration library has just been published! Previously, this library could only be used as part of the DLx JavaScript library, but now it is available as a standalone library for use in your web pages or Node.js projects.

Transliteration is the process of converting one writing system to another, by substituting characters or sequences of characters in a text. The DLx transliteration libray can also be used to sanitize strings (i.e. remove unwanted characters). Read more about some of the difficulties involved in transliteration, and how the DLx transliteration library handles them, in this blog post.

View the complete documentation for the DLx transliteration library here.
