Transliteration Resource (Type 'trsl')

The transliteration resource (resource type 'trsl') contains information used by the Script Manager TransliterateText function, which performs phonetic conversion among subscripts in 2-byte script systems.

The transliteration resource is optional. Currently, no 1-byte script systems, including the Roman script system, have transliteration resources. All 2-byte script systems have transliteration resources.

The resource ID for a transliteration resource is within the range of resource ID numbers for its script system. There is one transliteration resource for each kind of transliteration supported by the script system. The name of an individual 'trsl' resource, such as "Jamo to Hangul", specifies the kind of transliteration that the resource performs.

There are two formats for the transliteration resource: one supplies table-based transliteration from Jamo and Hangul, and vice versa, in the Korean script system; the other provides a more general rule-based transliteration.

Note

In the Roman script system, and for Roman text within other script systems, the TransliterateText function performs case conversion. The tables that control case conversion are in a script system's string-manipulation ('itl2') resource, not in a transliteration resource.
