In this example, a token in the orthography model is converted to Buckwalter transliteration. Within verse (19:7), the 6th token is selected. Buckwalter transliteration is a reversible encoding scheme that uses ASCII characters to represent Arabic text.

Java Example

public class BuckwalterExample {

    public static void main() {

        // Get token #6 of verse (19:7).
        Token token = Document.getToken(19, 7, 6);

        // Display the token using Buckwalter transliteration.
        System.out.println(token.toBuckwalter());
    }
}

Program Output

yaHoyaY`

Discussion

The toBuckwalter() method can be used to convert a verse, token, character or any other Arabic text to Buckwalter transliteration.
