Bug ID: 73410
Summary: Use an external package for transliteration
Product: Pywikibot
Version: core (2.0)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs(a)lists.wikimedia.org

Pywikibot allows transliteration of text before writing to files/ttys.
pywikibot/userinterfaces/transliteration.py - 108K
There are existing packages which try to achieve similar goals, such as
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/translit
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode
If any of the above are *functional* sufficient for pywikibot needs, we should
use it. If there are minor gaps in support for languages, where pywikibot has
better transliteration tables, we can push our improvements into the external
package.
Otherwise, we start a new project with the pywikibot code so others can reuse
and help develop/maintain the code.
