arabic2trans(1)

arabic2trans1

Convert a character set encoded arabic file to a buckwalter transliterated file.

Usage

arabic2trans -f filename [OPTIONS]

Overview

This utility will convert a file encoded in UTF-8 or CP1256 to a Buckwalter transliterated file. The default encoding is set to the UTF-8 (as it should always be!). It should be noted that the Windows CP-1256 encoding is often insufficient to convert some of the transliterations. It is therefore advised to only use UTF-8 encoding.

This is part of Duali.
