I Built a Java Library to Transliterate Sinhala Text into Latin Characters

Description and use

A Java library that transliterates Sinhala script into Latin characters, enabling quick integration via a single Maven dependency and method call.

Problem

Java developers working with Sinhala text need a way to represent Sinhala script in Latin characters for display, processing, or integration with systems that only support Latin script.

Outcome

The library provides a quick, reliable transliteration solution that can be integrated into Java projects with a single dependency and a single method call.

Workflow

• Add the Maven dependency to pom.xml
• Import com.webmotech.transliterator.SinhalaToLatinTransliterator
• Call SinhalaToLatinTransliterator.transliterate(input)
• Use the returned Latin string in the application

Evidence

Add this dependency to your Maven pom.xml: <dependency> <groupId>io.github.iroshperera</groupId> <artifactId>sinhala-transliterator</artifactId> <version>1.1.0</version> </dependency>
