- beefburger 3mo agoNo, standard transliterators like Latin-Katakana are designed to always terminate. What the article demonstrates is that the underlying rule language is powerful enough that one could write custom rules that loop infinitely. In practice, the ICU implementation does limit the number of rewrites, even though the specification doesn't.
