Jakaroma

Java kanji/etc-to-romaji converter.

Jakaroma converts kanji and kana (katakana, hiragana) to romaji (Latin alphabet), which can be useful to make Japanese words more-or-less readable by readers who can not read Japanese. Example usage: A map app might want to convert strings such as "ハレクラニ沖縄" to "Harekurani Okinawa" for users whose locale is not the Japanese language. We hope that results are better than nothing, but please note that many conversions are not perfect. Pull requests welcome!
