Do not use this project any more. See readme.

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.
