Methods

Process(String)

Performs Modified Hepburn romanization on the given text.
Note this supports Hiragana and Katakana, but not Kanji.
Due to limits of machine romanization, certain details of the system are left out - namely vowel combinations, as the rules for combining vowels depend on whether or not the vowels share a morpheme (something not known to the program).

Declaration

public string Process(string text)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	text	The text to romanize.

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	A romanized version of the text, leaving unrecognized characters untouched. Note that all romanized text will be lowercase.
