Hindi to Urdu Transliteration
Software developed by CRULP, NUCES
Center for Research
in Urdu Language Processing (CRULP) at National University of Computer
and Emerging Sciences (NUCES), Lahore, Pakistan is pleased to announce
the beta version of
Hindi
to Urdu Transliterator.
Limitations:
1. The program is based on mapping Hindi characters to their
corresponding Urdu characters. For this release Urdu Lexicon (word
list) has not yet been provided due to which the application may fail
to identify the precise Urdu characters whenever there are more than
one Urdu characters for one Hindi character. A few examples for such a
limitation is given below:
(a). The character
त
(ta) in Hindi has two equivalent characters
ت (tay) and
ط (toein) in
Urdu, however, the program maps
ت (tay) onto
त
(ta)
whenever it encounters it.
(b). The devanagari character
ज़ (za)
for which there are
ز(zay),
ض(zoad),
ذ(zal) and
ظ(zoin)
characters, but the program uses
ز (zay).
In addition to this there are few other cases like this.
2. The Arabic vowels in the transliterated Hindi text are also not
correct at certain points. For example, you may see
ع instead of
الف at a few
places (for example, the word
मालूम
(maaloom) is transliterated as
مالُوم).
Other such vowel conflicts occur between
و and
ؤ
,
الف and
ہ
etc.
3. It is important to note that the software is a tranliteration (and
NOT translation) software, hence it will not translate hindi words to
urdu, infact it will only change the script.
4. The software has been tested for window XP only and may or may not
work on windows 2000. However, it will surely not work on earlier
versions of windows.
