# transliterate
> Convert Unicode characters to Latin characters using [transliteration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration)
Can be useful for [slugification](https://github.com/sindresorhus/slugify) purposes and other times you cannot use Unicode.
## Install
```
$ npm install @sindresorhus/transliterate
```
## Usage
```js
const transliterate = require('@sindresorhus/transliterate');
transliterate('Fußgängerübergänge');
//=> 'Fussgaengeruebergaenge'
transliterate('Я люблю единорогов');
//=> 'Ya lyublyu edinorogov'
transliterate('أنا أحب حيدات');
//=> 'ana ahb hydat'
transliterate('tôi yêu những chú kỳ lân');
//=> 'toi yeu nhung chu ky lan'
```
## API
### transliterate(string, options?)
#### string
Type: `string`
String to transliterate.
#### options
Type: `object`
##### customReplacements
Type: `Array<string[]>`\
Default: `[]`
Add your own custom replacements.
The replacements are run on the original string before any other transformations.
This only overrides a default replacement if you set an item with the same key.
```js
const transliterate = require('@sindresorhus/transliterate');
transliterate('Я люблю единорогов', {
customReplacements: [
['единорогов', '🦄']
]
})
//=> 'Ya lyublyu 🦄'
