Check out ICU4J (http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu4j/). There is a demo of transliteration at http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/tr. For Cyrillic, we currently only do an ISO-based transliteration, but you can do your own custom ones.
(The demo will store custom rules that people have devised. I see that there are a couple of Cyrillic ones, as well as a number of ones we don't have in the stock ICU, such as American/Canadian Indian transliterators.)

Subject: transliteration in java
Hello
My apologies if such kind of question is too silly, but I browse quickly through resources\FAQ and did not find anything useful for me…
I’m having bunch of files that are in Cyrillic charset and I need to transfer then to some device that is not capable to show such carset (don’t have appropriate font).
So, I’ve decided to provide transliteration mechanism, i.e. convert chars from Cyrillic to Latin. The language that I’m going to use is Java.
Can you guys point me on some useful resource to do so or give me some recommendation?
=================
I’ve made some preliminary prototyping, and results appear to be weird.
1 I provide a mapping from a char (lets say Cyrillic) to its Latin equivalent in sense of transliteration
2 Take the flat file and process it (convert from Cyrillic to Latin)
Sometimes its working, sometimes its not…
Apparently when I run simple things from my IDE it works fine, but when I’m trying to do the same in standalone mode – it skips processing.
I was hunting down the problem and this is the difference I see:
When I do call like this Character.UnicodeBlock.of(toProcess) for next char to transliterate, it shows
From IDE - CYRILLIC
Standalone - LATIN_1_SUPPLEMENT
So, I guess the way flat file is read makes big difference… I’m willing to blame some difference in system properties settings for to such calls…
Can you help me with pointers to make it the way it should be?
Thanks, Dennis
