Purpose

This is more of a proof of concept than anything. The template takes Russian words/phrases and produces their romanization using all major systems (at present, only three are supported).

Input

Output

BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian: Sʺyeshʹ yeshchë etikh myagkikh frantsuzskikh bulok, da vypey chayu. Sʺyeshʹ-yeshchë etikh myagkikh frantsuzskikh bulok, oui?

Scientific transliteration: Sʺešʹ eščë ètix mjagkix francuzskix bulok, da vypej čaju. Sʺešʹ-eščë ètix mjagkix francuzskix bulok, oui?

ISO/R 9:1968: Sʺešʹ eščë ėtich mjagkich francuzskich bulok, da vypej čaju. Sʺešʹ-eščë ėtich mjagkich francuzskich bulok, oui?

Issues and plans

• Formatting at present is rather crude non-existent.
• Trailing space is added to the output. Not sure why.
• Maximum length of input is 100 characters (any remainder is trimmed)
• Obviously, having to pass each character as a separate parameter is a huge drawback. This is due to the fact that Wikimedia servers do not have string functions enabled.
• BGN/PCGN's interpunct digraphs are not yet supported. They will eventually be implemented as an option that can be switched on and off.
