How to Convert Non-English Characters to English Using JavaScript

Question

I have a c# function which converts all non-english characters to proper characters for a given text. like as follows

public static string convertString(stri         


        

Answer 1

function convertString(phrase)
{
 var maxLength = 100;
 var str = phrase.toLowerCase();
 var charMap = {
  'ö': 'o',
  'ç': 'c',
  'ş': 's',
  'ı': 'i',
  'ğ': 'g',
  'ü': 'u'
 };

 var rx = /(ö|ç|ş|ı|ğ|ü)/g;

 // if any non-english charr exists,replace it with proper char
 if (rx.test(str)) {
  str = str.replace(rx, function(m, key, index) {
   return charMap[key];
  });
 }

 // if there are other invalid chars, convert them into blank spaces
 str = str.replace(/[^a-z\d\s-]/gi, "");
 // convert multiple spaces and hyphens into one space       
 str = str.replace(/[\s-]+/g, " ");
 // trim string
 str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "");
 // cut string
 str = str.substring(0, str.length <= maxLength ? str.length : maxLength);
 // add hyphens
 str = str.replace(/\s/g, "-"); 

 return str;
}
