Over the years, many dozens of different Romanization systems have
been devised to represent Chinese characters phonetically. While
Hanyu Pinyin is now the most commonly used system, others are still
used for scholarly and teaching purposes. This tool will take text
using one form of Chinese Romanization and convert it into a different
Romanization. Write or paste the text into the top text area, select the
source and target Romanization types, and then click on "Convert!".
The converted text will appear in the bottom window.
<P>
Some <A HREF="javasetup.html">set up</A> is necessary to run this
applet. There is also a <A HREF="pyconverter_old.html">previous
version</A> of the applet doesn't need additional set up and that runs
on Netscape Navigator 4.06 or Internet Explorer 4.0. It will not run
on earlier versions of these browsers.
<P>
This tool will not convert characters to pinyin. It will also not
convert pinyin to characters. It only works between different
Romanizations (and Zhuyin Fuhao). The Zhuyin Fuhao, aka "BoPoMoFo",
will likely display only as question marks. This will be corrected in
the next release. Hanyu Pinyin in this tool uses numerals (1-4) to
represent tone. Tone marks will be added as an option in the next
release. Finally, umlauted letters (such as "u" or "o") can also be
input using the convention of typing the un-umlauted letter followed
by a colon (:).
