Bug #65361 [Opn->Fbk]: Transliteration has uppercase problems with letter J in Serbian

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65361&edit=1 ID: 65361 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr Summary: Transliteration has uppercase problems with letter J in Serbian -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Unicode Engine related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.5.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Is your source cyrillic string UTF-8 encoded? No idea how to encode otherwise, but with UTF-8 source it gives the translit you expect. So that might be the key. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 14:44:15] pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr Description: ------------ The transliterator class does not work well when converting from Cyrillic Serbian to Latin Script Serbian. All the j letters in cyrillic are systematically converted to uppercase J in latin-script serbian while it should be lowercase j inside a word. Online conversion tools probably also based on ICU don't have this bug and do the conversion correctly. I am attaching a code sample that shows that bug. I tested that the bug exists in both PHP 5.4 and 5.5 Thanks! Test script: --------------- <?php $t = Transliterator::create('Serbian-Latin/BGN'); $source = 'Најгледанији сајтови'; echo '<ul>' . '<li>Cyrillic source: ' . $source . '</li>' . '<li>Expected transliteration: Najgledaniji sajtovi</li>' . '<li>Actual transliteration: ' . $t->transliterate($source) . '</li>' . '</ul>'; Expected result: ---------------- This string : Најгледанији сајтови Should be transliterated to: Najgledaniji sajtovi Actual result: -------------- But PHP transliterates it to: NaJgledaniJi saJtovi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65361&edit=1
