The source code for this romanizing transliterator is open source, LGPL licensed, so you are free to take this and use it in your web application or website as well. For now, if you would like to add a transliteration standard to our database, take a look first at these examples. Eventually, we will be implementing a table editor to allow editing the tables, creating, and of course, sharing new ones. The tables are not fixed, and we can change them if bugs are found or better ways are suggested. By incorporating additional transliteration standards for additional scripts, we will be able to convert Hebrew to Greek, Cyrillic, Amharic, etc. An approximation of Modern Ashkenazi Hebrew pronunciation by Aharon Varady (2010)Ĭurrently, the demonstration only provides romanization - the transliteration of Hebrew to a Latin script.An approximation of Modern Israeli Hebrew pronunciation by Open Siddur lead developer, Efraim Feinstein (2010).Coding for Transliteration of Hebrew ( Michigan-Claremont, 1984).Concise Dictionary of the Words in the Hebrew Bible with their Renderings (James Strong, 1890).Romanization Table for Hebrew and Yiddish ( The American Library Association/Library of Congress, 1997).The SBL Handbook of Style ( Society of Biblical Literature, 1999).International Phonetic Alphabet (2005, as used by Wikipedia).Rules of Transcription from Hebrew Script to Latin Script ( Academy of the Hebrew Language, 2007).
