Unlaut

Adds a 'no_i18n' method to String, providing you with an accent and umlaut free version of it.

# Example:
irb(main):011:0> 'Hellö, Mr. Présidente'.no_i18n
=> "Hello, Mr. Presidente"

# Replacements can be configured
irb(main):012:0> Unlaut::Map.replace 'aeiuo', 'x'
irb(main):013:0> 'I hate vowels'.no_i18n
=> "I hxtx vxwxls"

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'unlaut'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install unlaut

Rails

You have to require the lib at startup to actually get the no_i18n method. You can add an initializer to

config/initializers/unlaut.rb

where you then als can add own replacements:

require 'unlaut'
# loads the unlaut gem which adds a no_i18n method to strings to replace umlauts

# Unlaut::Map.replace 'x', 'y'
