I have just finished developing the initial version of the Turkish Deasciifier add-on for Firefox. You can see the add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/204311/. I’ve prepared it using Jetpack SDK and the source code is available at http://github.com/emres/jetpack-turkish-deasciifier.

The add-on is still not reviewed by Mozilla team, I plan to apply for review after some users try it and use it without any problems.

All of this would not be possible so quickly without the original idea and implementation of Deniz Yüret and the Javascript implementation by Mustafa Emre Acer.

For everything related to this add-on and its Python implementation read my blog entries at http://ileriseviye.org/blog/?tag=turkish-deasciifier

I’ve just received an e-mail from Softpedia Editorial Team about my Python implementation of Deniz Yüret’s Turkish deasciifier:

I’ve recently added my Python implementation of Turkish deasciifier to the Python Package Index (PyPI). You can see the details at: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Turkish Deasciifier/

Now I’m in the process of creating a Firefox plug-in using Jetpack SDK. This will make it much easier for end users.

PS: One of the first people who provided feedback about my PyPI package was a French programmer who was also studying Turkish. I’m glad to see that my efforts help people who are not native Turkish speakers, too.

I have recently finished converting Deniz Yüret’s Turkish deasciifier, turkish-mode (that was implemented in Emacs Lisp) into Python. The source code is available at http://github.com/emres/turkish-deasciifier.

For those who are a little bit puzzled at the term ‘deasciification’: It is the process of converting a Turkish text that is written using only ASCII letters into a Turkish text with correct Turkish letters. For example if your ASCII-only Turkish text is:
