iuliia: transliterate Cyrillic → Latin in every possible way
· 6 min read
Transliterating Cyrillic text to Latin is a solved problem on paper - grab a mapping table, iterate over characters, done. But when you need 27 different transliteration schemas (ICAO, Wikipedia, GOST, BGN/PCGN...), the design choices matter. I finally finished iuliia-rs, a Rust transliteration library, with help of AI tools (GLM 5.1). This post walks through how the library works.
