While working with many Nepali documents, we encountered lots of data of Nepali names which includes names, surname, address and numbers. Extracting the data was not a easy task but working with its romanize transliteration was hard.
Many different packages are created for transliteration but they were not quite accurate.
This package contains large amount of Nepali literals and words which are mapped to its respective romanized literal and word.
But that was not the challenging part, still it was not giving the accurate result for instance "नेपाल" was showing Nepala as the "ल" is mapped as "la". So we have worked with these type of issues also.
nepali-to-roman package is available for Python 3 and can be installed using pip.
First make sure pip is installed.
Then, the package can be installed using this command.
pip install nepali-to-roman
Import the ntr module using the following command.
import ntr The ntr module has one function: nep_to_rom
Detail description: Every words of a sentences are broken down into list and are transliterated individually which are later merged into single string.
Syntax:
>>> ntr.nep_to_rom(text)Example:
>>> import ntr
>>> print(ntr.nep_to_rom("म नेपाल मा बस्छु ।"))
Output: ma nepal ma baschhu .
