I am making a latin to runic translator and i want to know how to switch characters in a user inputted string into its corresponding characters in another writing system. e.g all 'm' becomes 'n' and all 'oi' becomes 'l' like man to nan and soil to sll.
Another way to go about this type of application may be through Natural Language Processing.
There is a well known and highly praised package available for this NLTK see: https://www.nltk.org/
And see article: https://impythonist.wordpress.com/2014/0...th-python/
Above article hasn't been worked on since 2014, so not a good choice.
This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLZvOKSCkxY is the start of a complete tutorial 20+ videos looks more promising.
