3.0.0 // 2024-12-24

💥 Breaking changes

In previous versions, there were two functions for the transliteration:

• translitCyrLat(string) - Transliterate text from the Cyrillic script to the Latin alphabet.
• translitLatCyr(string) - Transliterate text from the Latin alphabet to the Cyrillic script.

As of version 3.0.0, these functions have been replaced with a single function that accepts a transliteration direction parameter:

• translit(string, direction)
• Example:
  • translit("Коровкы", "cyrLat") → Korovkŷ
  • translit("Korovkŷ", "latCyr") → Коровкы

💪 Improvements

Translit now supports homoglyph characters—characters that look identical across different alphabets but have different Unicode code points. For instance, the Latin C (U+0043) and the Cyrillic С (U+0421) appear the same but are distinct. Previously, if you used Cyrillic characters accidentally in a Latin word (e.g., Сejlon), the transliteration would fail, resulting in Сейлон. Now, mixed Latin and Cyrillic input like Сejlon is correctly transliterated to Цейлон.

2.1.0 // 2022-09-07

This version is a bigger improvement since 2020. Translit now works well for UPPER CASE texts and works better for numerous combinations of soft (я, є, ї, ё, ю) and hard (а, е, і, о, у, и, ы, ї) vowels.

💪 Improvements

• UPPER CASE SUPPORT. Until now, translit worked well for “lower case” or “Title Case” texts. Since this release, translit also works properly and automatically for “UPPER CASE” texts.
