Looking for a way to search a dictionary using English and Devanagari script? (lemmy.ml)

I want to create an incremental search function for a language. It has to show the same result when I use either Devnagri or English ( how it sounds) For example : 'Kya' should show क्या , 'क्या' should show क्या

Please suggest some guide or tutorial, I am okayish in programming and open to learning

Cheers.

I don't think I'm getting it right, but isn't it just a matter of checking the character set in the query and determining if it belongs to English or Devnagri part of Unicode and applying transliteration if the query is in English.

If you are looking for a self hosted Devnagri transliteration tool, look into AI4Bharat, a tool developed by IIT Madras.
