Transliterator
==============

[](#transliterator)

A PHP < 5.4 fallback for `transliterator_transliterate()`

> composer require lukemadhanga/php-transliterator

PHP 5.4 has a built-in function, `transliterator_transliterate()` which does exactly what it says on the tin. This class works as a basic fallback for that function which is available from PHP5.4 with the `intl` package installed.
