Latin to Cyrillic

Latin to Cyrillic is a handy little tool that helps people who are used to Latin letters make sense of texts written in the Cyrillic script. You might be surprised to know that this script is used in several European and Asian countries! If you ever find yourself needing to convert text from Latin to Cyrillic, this program is designed just for that.

What Can It Do?

This Java-based software supports both the Serbian Azbuka and Macedonian alphabets. Its design is super simple, making it easy for anyone to use. However, there are some areas where it could use a bit of tweaking.

User-Friendly Layout

The main window has two panels: one shows your original text and the other displays the converted version. You can even switch layouts so the program can automatically detect what script you're using. Pretty neat, right?

Alphabets Supported

You can choose between Serbian and Macedonian in the Settings menu, but keep in mind that support for other languages was removed in earlier versions due to some conversion issues.

A Few Improvements Needed

While Latin to Cyrillic is straightforward, a few small changes would make it even better. For instance, when you close the app, all your text disappears—both the original and converted versions. Plus, it doesn't copy the converted text automatically to your clipboard, which can be a bit annoying.

No More Setup Hassles

The app also forgets all your settings when you shut it down. This means every time you open it up again, you'll have to set everything back up: layout choice, language selection, and adjusting window size.

Easy Access with Java

If you already have Java on your machine (which most do), you can start using this program right after downloading! There's no installation needed since it won't save any data on your hard drive.

A Great Tool Overall!

In short, Latin to Cyrillic is a useful utility for anyone looking to convert between Latin letters and either Serbian or Macedonian alphabets. While it's lightweight and portable—and pretty easy to use—it definitely has room for improvement!
