ITRANS is a pre-processor that converts English-encoded text into various Indian Language scripts for printing or for display.
The input text to ITRANS is in a transliterated form, each letter in an Indian Script is assigned an English equivalent, and the English letters are used to represent what will eventually print out in the Indian Language Script.
ITRANS offers a choice of two input encodings: ITRANS Encoding, and the CS/CSX encoding. ITRANS encoding is a 7-bit ASCII encoding (English alphabet), while the CS/CSX encoding is a 8-bit encoding. The ITRANS encoding uses multi-character English codes to represent each Indic Script letter, while the CS/CSX encoding uses a one-character code to represent each Indic Script letter. [See ITRANS/doc/icsx.itx in the ITRANS archive for more details regarding CS/CSX.]
ITRANS supports three kinds of output interfaces: one for TeX documents, one for PostScript documents, and a third for HTML documents. The TeX interface is available for most languages, while the PostScript interface is available for PostScript fonts only, and the HTML interface is available for TrueType or Unicode fonts only. The HTML Unicode output uses UTF-8 format, and supports all languages.
