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. 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>
The applet needs at least Netscape Navigator 4.06 or Internet Explorer 4.0 to
run. 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 (:).
