Golang : Simple Jawi(Yawi) to Rumi(Latin/Romanize) converter
A simple example on how to use Golang's map to build a Jawi(Malays in Arabic script) to Rumi translation dictionary. My knowledge of Jawi became lost over the years(I studied it back in primary 1 and 2) and created this tool to help me in regaining back my ability to read and write Jawi.
Please download the translation file at [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mohdzamrimurah/rumi-jawi/master/rumi-jawi-unicode.txt][1] before running this program. If you are unable to download the dictionary file from the link above, try navigating to the most recent dictionary at [https://github.com/mohdzamrimurah/rumi-jawi][2]
Here you go!
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"os"
"strings"
)
func main() {
// one map for each dictionary
jawiRumi := map[string]string{}
rumiJawi := map[string]string{}
fileName := "rumi-jawi-unicode.txt"
//fileName := "rumi-jawi-unicode-3-1-2019.txt"
fileBytes, err := ioutil.ReadFile(fileName)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
lines := strings.Split(string(fileBytes), "\n")
// build the dictionaries
for _, line := range lines {
if len(line) > 0 {
split := strings.Split(line, ",")
rumi := split[0]
jawi := split[1]
jawiRumi[jawi] = rumi
rumiJawi[rumi] = jawi
}
}
//to translate
//jawi := "کيت مستي جادي ماءنسي يڠ برويباوا "
//jawi := "سابن هاري کيت مستي جاݢ ڤرتوتورن دان تيڠکت لاکو کيت "
jawi := "بلاجر جاوي تق روݢي بيلا کنا ماکي مماکي بوليهله فهم"
fmt.Println("Translating : [", jawi, "]")
//get rid of empty spaces in front and back
jawi = strings.TrimPrefix(jawi, " ")
jawi = strings.TrimSuffix(jawi, " ")
//chunk them
jawiWords := strings.Split(jawi, " ")
for _, word := range jawiWords {
fmt.Println(jawiRumi[string(word)] + " >> " + word)
}
fmt.Println(jawi)
rumi := ""
for _, word := range jawiWords {
rumi = rumi + " " + jawiRumi[string(word)]
}
fmt.Println(rumi)
//translate rumi(latin/romanized) back to Jawi/Yawi
// get rid of empty spaces in front and back
rumi = strings.TrimPrefix(rumi, " ")
rumi = strings.TrimSuffix(rumi, " ")
rumiWords := strings.Split(rumi, " ")
for _, word := range rumiWords {
fmt.Println(rumiJawi[word] + " >> " + string(word))
}
}

Output:
Translating : [ حکايت مروڠ مها وڠسا ]
hikayat >> حکايت
merong >> مروڠ
maha >> مها
wangsa >> وڠسا
حکايت مروڠ مها وڠسا
hikayat merong maha wangsa
حکايت >> hikayat
