/**
 * \file
 * \brief C API: Transliterator
 *
 * <h2> Transliteration </h2>
 * The data structures and functions described in this header provide
 * transliteration services.  Transliteration services are implemented
 * as C++ classes.  The comments and documentation in this header
 * assume the reader is familiar with the C++ headers translit.h and
 * associated documentation.
 *
 * A significant but incomplete subset of the C++ transliteration
 * services are available to C code through this header.  In order to
 * access more complex transliteration services, refer to the C++
 * headers and documentation.
 *
 * There are two sets of functions for working with transliterator IDs:
 *
 * An old, deprecated set uses char * IDs, which works for true and pure
 * identifiers that these APIs were designed for,
 * for example "Cyrillic-Latin".
 * It does not work when the ID contains filters ("[:Script=Cyrl:]")
 * or even a complete set of rules because then the ID string contains more
 * than just "invariant" characters (see utypes.h).
 *
 * A new set of functions replaces the old ones and uses UChar * IDs,
 * paralleling the UnicodeString IDs in the C++ API. (New in ICU 2.8.)
