Mostly I am using emacs to set Sanskrit texts wich usually contain a lot of diacritics. this might look like this: d=E1=B9=9B=E1=B9=A3=E1=B9=ADv=C4=81d=E1=B8=8Dhat= a=E1=B9=83 r=C5=ABpamugra=E1=B9=83 taveda=E1=B9=83 And the dictionary files contain the words in the ITRANS / Harvard-Kyoto transliteration sheme, wich is used to set Devanagari-letters in the roman alphabet without using diacritics at all. So when I want to run sdcv on my input wich includes diacritis, naturally it does not work well because the dict-files are in ITRANS/Harvad-Kyoto transliteration. Of course, if I replace the diacritics manually and turn the input into something like this: dRSTVAdDhataM rUpamugraM tavedaM wich is in conformity to the ITRANS/Harvad-Kyoto transliteration, sdcv is working very well. But I do not want to input all my stuff in ITRANS because I might want to use it later for latex etc. So my question is: Is it possible to hack the sdcv.el to do this replacement so I can type with my diacritics, then the sdcv.el converts all the characters to itrans before the input is sent to sdcv? Greetings & thanks for any advice on this Sebastian
