Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library uses 'sanscript' (not 'transliteration' or 'indic') as the main module for transliteration functions.

fix

Use `from indic_transliteration import sanscript`.

affects: all

gotchaTransliteration scheme constants (e.g., DEVANAGARI, IAST, HK, ITRANS) are defined in `sanscript`, not as standalone strings.

fix

Access constants via `sanscript.DEVANAGARI`, etc.

affects: all

gotchaThe function `transliterate` expects source and target scheme constants in the correct order: (data, source_scheme, target_scheme). Source and target are easy to swap.

fix

Always double-check order: `transliterate(data, FROM, TO)`.

affects: all
