Subject: Sanskrit romanized

This is not a bug but rather a question - I have users who need to collate IAST romanized sanskrit but I can’t seem to find out how to do this. The “sa” localisation in U::C::L is just for a few Devangari glyphs and the UCA doesn’t sort the romanized transliterations correctly. I looked in CLDR 29 core but couldn’t even see a “sa” locale at all. Do you know what it would take to get this working? Many thanks for such an essential module.

Hello, Unicode/Collate/Locale/sa.pl is based on CLDR 1.9.1. http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/1.9.1/ Unicode::Collate::Locale, whose collation for other almost languages is based on CLDR 22.1, has not followed CLDR changes recent few years. I'm not sure how CLDR 29 has changed. A possible approach to collate IAST may be, before comparison, converting transliteration to devanagari. Regards, Tomoyuki SADAHIRO Show quoted text

I think you are correct here, it is unfortunate that the Unicode::Transliterate module is so out of date ...

I got this to work by writing a transliteration and then sorting via standard sanskrit locale, thanks. You can close this.
