CharToPinyin (Deprecated!!!)

Notice

Please do not fork or use this project again, because Core Foundation has already implemented the Chinese to Pinyin methods for us!!!

Sample code:

NSMutableString *pinyin = [@"中文测试" mutableCopy];
CFStringTransform((__bridge CFMutableStringRef)pinyin, NULL, kCFStringTransformMandarinLatin, NO);
// CFStringTransform((__bridge CFMutableStringRef)pinyin, NULL, kCFStringTransformStripCombiningMarks, NO);
NSLog(@"%@", pinyin); 
// Output: zhōng wén cè shì
// Uncomment the second call to CFStringTransform will out put: zhong wen ce shi

Please refer Apple documentation for more usage for CFStringTransform function.

Description

This is a small Chinese pinyin library based on Sunrise Spell, a C# implementation.

Usage

Import source files to your project. In code, use:

// Will return: zw
NSString *result = [[CharToPinyin shared] translate:@"中文" withSpaceString:@"" options:CPSpellOptionsFirstLetterOnly];

Now only have one convinient method - abbreviation: for first letter only abbreviation.

// Will return: zw
NSString *result = [[CharToPinyin shared] abbreviation:@"中文"];

Limitation

This class can only inteprete Chinese characters in GB2312 charset.
