'Cyrillic transliteration in R
Are there packages for Cyrillic text transliteration to Latin in R? I need to convert data frames to Latin to use factors. It is somewhat messy to use Cyrillic factors in R.
Solution 1:[1]
It is possible to do it with stringi package as you above, but with different transform identifier, for Serbian latin:
`stri_trans_general("?????", "Serbian-Latin/BGN")`
All characters should be transformed correctly to Serbian latin.
Solution 2:[2]
If afterwards one uses Base R to filter the data in Cyrillic, one get's all NA's, but if dplyr is used then everything is fine.
