# Notes: 
# 1. You will need to install the Indic NLP Library from https://github.com/anoopkunchukuttan/indic_nlp_library
# 2. You will need to install the Indic NLP Resources from https://github.com/anoopkunchukuttan/indic_nlp_resources

# Usage: python indic_scriptmap.py <input_file> <output_file> <source_language> <target_language>
# where <input_file> is the input file containing lines with the original script, and <output_file> is where the file with the script mapped content into the target language will be written.
# <source_language> is the language of the original script, and <target_language> is the language of the script to be mapped into.
# Example: python indic_scriptmap.py input.txt output.txt ta hi
# This will map the script in the input.txt file from Tamil to Hindi.
