Transliteration Algolia Cyrillic Strings

Does anyone have any experience with Algolia and transliteration? For example, indices contain Cyrillic text, but the user types in Latin letters.

Unfortunately, most search engines don't natively support transliteration; the same for Algolia.

The best way to handle this use case is to enrich your objects with transliterated attributes before submitting them to a search engine.



Perhaps you can try gausby / translitit-cyrillic-russian-to-latin ?

Just add one little clarification. Let it be said that we have one field such as a name and many names.

you can create an object like



{ 

     name: 'whatever',
     translations: {
          ru: ' ',
          he: 'οτιδήποτε',
          de: 'was auch immer'
    }
}

Then you will enter your desired attributes name, translations.ru, translations.he, translations.de, so that the search will return "whatever" when the user enters "without pa", for example.
