Question

Is it posible to convert Cyrillic string to English(Latin) in c#? For example I need to convert \"Петролеум\" in \"Petroleum\". Plus I forgot to mention that if I have Cyril

Answer 1

You can of course map the letters to the latin transcription, but you won't get an english word out of it in most cases. E.g. Российская Федерация transcribes to Rossiyskaya Federatsiya. wikipedia offers an overview of the mapping. You are probably looking for a translation service, google probably offers an api for that.
