Henri Yandell updated LANG-285: ------------------------------- Attachment: LANG-285.patch With Sun's implementation hitting end of life in October - I don't think it would be bad to be being proactively forward looking. Attaching a patch for this. > Wish : method unaccent > ---------------------- > > Key: LANG-285 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-285 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Guillaume Coté > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0 > > Attachments: LANG-285-unaccent-using-Collator.patch, LANG-285.patch, > MapBuilder.java, unaccent.patch, UnnacentMap.java > > > I would like to add a method that replace accented caracter by unaccented > one. For example, with the input String "L'été où j'ai dû aller à l'île > d'Anticosti commenca tôt", the method would return "L'ete ou j'ai du aller à > l'ile d'Anticosti commenca tot". > I suggest to call that method unaccent and to add it in StringUtils. > If we cannot covert all case, the first version could only covert iso-8859-1. > If you are willing to go forward with that idea, I am willing to contribute a > patch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
