Greek to Latin characters converter

Greek language is not that web friendly

This mini tool is mainly for personal use, as I've caught myself multiple times visiting an equivalent tool simply to solve the issue of Greek to Latin letter standardization. I still haven't met 2 people who will transliterate the Greek language in the same way, or at least with 95% similarity.

I, for example, will never write the multiple i's (η, ι, υ, οι, ει) in different ways, but even then, the word είναι (is) will always be einai for me, rather than ine, as the latter just looks ugly. Same for the o: we have ο (omicron) and ω (omega). The simple word εγώ (I), I've never written as ego, but always as egw. It feels better, what can I say.

Thus this little tool, because I kept needing something like it whenever I wanted to use Greek copy in public-facing files. And this time, without the extra actions like Click/Select → Ctrl + A → Copy → Use, or the headache of copying a sentence-case blog title, then having to transform it to lowercase beforehand or manually because, "eh, it's just a few letters". Or the headache of adding hyphens, so things published can be more bot-friendly (the world we live in).

Now, once the page is open: Write/Paste → Click → Use.

PS: Double spaces won't become double hyphens, cough cough, but simply one hyphen.

Main use cases, where it really unties my hands, are naming things originating from Greek copy: URL slugs (in case standardization isn't implemented from the backend already), filenames (usually images), and, more rarely, something else. A slug is basically just a filename for an HTML file anyway.

Interesting factoid: Greek written with Latin letters is commonly known as Greeklish, but the practice probably originates way before the creation of the Internet, in a form known as Φραγκοχιώτικα (Fragkochiotika). There's an interesting 10-minute lecture from the Bodossaki Foundation (in Greek) on the subject.

In case the 10-minute lecture is too long for now, here's an old document where the Greek language is written with Latin letters.
