Re: New encodings in makeinfo

[Patrice Dumas]

Hello,

I found a perl module, Text::Unidecode that transliterate most unicode.

I also found that in the makeinfo patch, there are some transliterations
that could be ameliorated.

For some there are letters with an accent or a symbol added, and it seems
to me that the transliterated symbol should be the letter without accent
or symbol:

00C5: A better than AA 
00D0: D better than DH
00D8: O better than OE
00E5: a better than aa
00F8: o better than oe

This is an upper case Y, I believe:
0178: Y better than y



The following are different in the patch that with Text::Unidecode. But I
don't have a any idea on what is right. Please tell if you have an argument
against or for a given transliteration, such that I can report to
the Text::Unidecode author if there are errors.

The first transliteration is from Text::Unidecode, the other is from
the patch for makeinfo:

00DE Th -> TH                (THORN)
0404 Ie -> IE
0407 Yi -> YI
0415 Ie -> E
0416 Zh -> ZH
0425 Kh -> H
0426 Ts -> C
0427 Ch -> CH
0428 Sh -> SH
0429 Shch -> SHCH
042a  -> W
042c ' -> X
042e Iu -> yu
042f Ia -> YA
0433 gh -> g
0435 ie -> e
0445 kh -> h
0446 ts -> c
0447 ch -> ch
044a  -> w
044c ' -> x
044f ia -> ya
04d7 ie -> IO
