With
this
tool, HTML Web pages written in the Inuktitut syllabic writing system
and displayed
on your favorite browser can be converted to the roman alphabet in a
click. To use it,
you will have to add a
link onto the ‘link’ or
‘personal’ bar of your browser. You can get the Inuktitut
Page Transliteration link here.
Every element of text in the HTML page that is displayed with an Inuktitut font, be it a legacy font like Prosyl or Nunacom or a Unicode font like Pigiarniq, is transliterated into the roman alphabet and put back in the page in replacement of the syllabic text. Actually, what you get is a copy of the original file in a new window. For example, the image on the left shows a page displaying text with the Nunacom font in the Mozilla Firefox browser, and the image on the right shows a copy of that page where the text is now in roman alphabet. Of course, text displayed as an image cannot be transliterated.
Disclaimer:
Optimally,
the transliterated page should be an exact copy of the
original page, except for the text that will be in the Latin alphabet. This will be the case if
the HTML code of the
original page is written in conformity with the HTML specifications. Otherwise, some text
elements might not be transliterated.
