# Jakaroma
Java kanji/etc-to-romaji converter.
Jakaroma converts kanji and kana (katakana, hiragana) to romaji (Latin alphabet), which can be useful to make Japanese words more-or-less readable by readers who can not read Japanese. Example usage: A map app _might_ want to convert strings such as "ハレクラニ沖縄" to "Harekurani Okinawa" for users whose locale is not the Japanese language. We hope that results are _better than nothing_, but please note that many conversions are not perfect. Pull requests welcome!
