Turkish case conversion in JavaScript

问题

I want to convert strings to lower or upper case in JavaScript in the locale I wanted. I think standard functions like toUpperCase() and toLocaleUpperCase() do not satisfy this need. toLocale functions do not behave as they should.

For example, in Safari 4, Chrome 4 Beta, Firefox 3.5.x on my system it converts strings with Turkish characters incorrectly. The browsers respond to navigator.language as "en-US", "tr", "en-US" respectively. But there is no way to get user's Accept-Lang setting in the browser as far as I could found. Only Chrome gives me "tr" although I have configured every browser Turkish locale preferred. I think these settings only affect HTTP header, but we can't access to these settings via JavaScript.

In the Mozilla documentation it says

The characters within a string are converted to ... while respecting the current locale. For most languages, this will return the same as ...

I think it's valid for Turkish, it doesn't differ it's configured as en or tr. In Turkish it should convert "DİNÇ" to "dinç" and "DINÇ" to "dınç" or vice-versa.

Is there any JavaScript library that satisfies this need? I think it should not only converting correctly in user's locale, but also it should support conversion via a locale parameter. Because developers cannot access to user's configured preferred language.

Coming back to this years later to provide more up to date solution.

There is no need for the hack below,

just use String.toLocaleUpperCase() and String.toLocaleLowerCase()

"dinç".toLocaleUpperCase('tr-TR') // "DİNÇ"

All browsers support this now.

[ OLD, DO NOT USE THIS ]

Try these functions

String.prototype.turkishToUpper = function(){
    var string = this;
    var letters = { "i": "İ", "ş": "Ş", "ğ": "Ğ", "ü": "Ü", "ö": "Ö", "ç": "Ç", "ı": "I" };
    string = string.replace(/(([iışğüçö]))+/g, function(letter){ return letters[letter]; })
    return string.toUpperCase();
}

String.prototype.turkishToLower = function(){
    var string = this;
    var letters = { "İ": "i", "I": "ı", "Ş": "ş", "Ğ": "ğ", "Ü": "ü", "Ö": "ö", "Ç": "ç" };
    string = string.replace(/(([İIŞĞÜÇÖ]))+/g, function(letter){ return letters[letter]; })
    return string.toLowerCase();
}

// Example
"DİNÇ".turkishToLower(); // => dinç
"DINÇ".turkishToLower(); // => dınç

I hope they will work for you.

Thanks for the function. I really liked it. Consecutive Turkish char input results 'undefined' as 'ÇÇ'. Try replacing '/+g' with '/g'. The functions would be:

String.prototype.turkishToUpper = function(){
var string = this;
var letters = { "i": "İ", "ş": "Ş", "ğ": "Ğ", "ü": "Ü", "ö": "Ö", "ç": "Ç", "ı": "I" };
string = string.replace(/(([iışğüçö]))/g, function(letter){ return letters[letter]; })
return string.toUpperCase();
}

String.prototype.turkishToLower = function(){
var string = this;
var letters = { "İ": "i", "I": "ı", "Ş": "ş", "Ğ": "ğ", "Ü": "ü", "Ö": "ö", "Ç": "ç" };
string = string.replace(/(([İIŞĞÜÇÖ]))/g, function(letter){ return letters[letter]; })
return string.toLowerCase();
}

回答3:

String.prototype.tUpper = function(){
   return this.replace(/i/g,"İ").toLocaleUpperCase();
}

String.prototype.tLower = function(){
    return this.replace(/I/g,"ı").toLocaleLowerCase();
}

Please look into this small piece of code that can convert to upppercase and lowercase

var manualLowercase = function(s) {
  return isString(s)
      ? s.replace(/[A-Z]/g, function(ch) {return String.fromCharCode(ch.charCodeAt(0) | 32);})
      : s;
};

var manualUppercase = function(s) {
  return isString(s)
      ? s.replace(/[a-z]/g, function(ch) {return String.fromCharCode(ch.charCodeAt(0) & ~32);})
      : s;
};

    var  a="lişliş lğüğpğp İŞİŞİŞ lşi ĞĞHFGH ÜGFHFHG ühüüüğ üğüğş ş ş Ş  İ i  ılk Ilk";

var s=a.split(' ');

var netice="";

s.forEach(function(g) {
  if (g.length>1)
    netice+=g[0].toLocaleUpperCase('tr')+
      g.slice(1).toLocaleLowerCase('tr')+" "; 
  else
    netice+=g.toLocaleUpperCase('tr')+" ";
});

alert(netice);
