Community Alums · ‎01-04-2024

Hi Team,

I have solved translation of the umlauts like below code working as expected

switch (field) {

case "name":

case "managed_by":

{

var keyCapry = capry_util.serviceNowToCapryFieldTransform(key);

var nonEngV = value.toString(); // Just in case, you know what I mean

var nonEngV1 = nonEngV.normalize('NFD'); // Canonical Decomposition

var ss = nonEngV1.replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, ""); // Remove diacritics

jsonObj[keyCapry] = ss;

break;

}

But how to update them as it follows?

ä ---> ae
ë ---> e
ï ---> i
ö ---> oe
ü ---> ue
ÿ ---> y
ß --> ss

please help me how to translation of the umlauts like above.

Thanks & Regards,

Bandi

Hi @Community Alums

You can try below-

function replaceSpecialCharacters(inputString) {
    var replacements = {
        'ä': 'ae',
        'ë': 'e',
        'ï': 'i',
        'ö': 'oe',
        'ü': 'ue',
        'ÿ': 'y',
        'ß': 'ss'
    };
    for (var ch in replacements) {
        if (replacements.hasOwnProperty(ch)) {
            inputString = inputString.split(ch).join(replacements[ch]);
        }
    }
    return inputString;
}
var inputString = "sauäëïöüÿßrabh";
var result = replaceSpecialCharacters(inputString);

gs.info(result);

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Gupta,

I am expecting capital letter O and small e(Oe) with bove code i am getting small 'oe ' for example

For example, it should be Yusuf Oeztuerk, not Yusuf oeztuerk.

how to change only for Capital letter O

Thanks & Regards,
