Rōmaji transliteration ⚠️ Untested - use with caution ⚠️

using Wacton.Desu.Romaji;
...
var transliterator = new Transliterator();
var romaji = transliterator.GetRomaji("です"); // romaji == "desu"

Notes: This is a large library due to the embedded resource files and can take a few seconds to parse. Since parsing the resources are I/O-bound operations it is recommended to use the asynchronous API. Example usages can be found in the Desu.ExampleConsole and Desu.ExampleWpf projects. (The Japanese dictionary contains ~200k entries, and the proper name dictionary contains ~750k entries.)
