Convert Between Simple Tone Input and Pinyin in Rails model

 / Published in: Rails
 

URL: http://67ideas.com/blog/easily-translate-rails-form-inputs-saving

This lets you type Mandarin tones like a1, o2, e3, and so on instead of having to type the real pinyin. The tones are saved with the proper characters in the database.
