Transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin ICU4j java

Question

I need to do something rather simple but without hash mapping hard coding. I have a String s and it is in Cyrillic I need some sort of example on how to turn it into Latin characters using a custom filter of a sort (to give a purely Latin example as to not confuse anyone if String s = sniff; I want it to look up s-n-i-f-f and change them into something else (there might also be combinations). I can see that ICU4j can do this sort of thing but I have no idea how to achieve it as I can't find any working examples (or I'm just stupid). Any help is appreciated. Thanks Best Regards, PS I need a batch translate. I don't care about styles or dynamic transliteration just some basic example on what a ICU4j batch transliterator would look like. K I actually got it. ``` import com.ibm.icu.text.Transliterator; public class BulgarianToLatin { public static String BULGARIAN_TO_LATIN = "Bulgarian-Latin/BGN"; public static void main(String[] args) { String bgString = "Джокович"; Transliterator bulgar…

I've wrote a method to transliterate cyrillic to latin, maybe this would be useful to smb.

```
public static String transliterate(String message){
    char[] abcCyr =   {' ','а','б','в','г','д','е','ё', 'ж','з','и','й','к','л','м','н','о','п','р','с','т','у','ф','х', 'ц','ч', 'ш','щ','ъ','ы','ь','э', 'ю','я','А','Б','В','Г','Д','Е','Ё', 'Ж','З','И','Й','К','Л','М','Н','О','П','Р','С','Т','У','Ф','Х', 'Ц', 'Ч','Ш', 'Щ','Ъ','Ы','Ь','Э','Ю','Я','a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z','A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z'};
    String[] abcLat = {" ","a","b","v","g","d","e","e","zh","z","i","y","k","l","m","n","o","p","r","s","t","u","f","h","ts","ch","sh","sch", "","i", "","e","ju","ja","A","B","V","G","D","E","E","Zh","Z","I","Y","K","L","M","N","O","P","R","S","T","U","F","H","Ts","Ch","Sh","Sch", "","I", "","E","Ju","Ja","a","b","c","d","e","f","g","h","i","j","k","l","m","n","o","p","q","r","s","t","u","v","w","x","y","z","A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"};
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++) {
        for (int x = 0; x < abcCyr.length; x++ ) {
            if (message.charAt(i) == abcCyr[x]) {
                builder.append(abcLat[x]);
            }
        }
    }
    return builder.toString();
}
```
