Babel is a Qt-based desktop application for phonetic alphabet conversion across multiple writing systems. It supports conversion between Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Mongolian, Manchu, Tibetan, Devanagari, Korean Hangul, Japanese Kana, Thai, Armenian, Georgian, and many other scripts. Built with Qt Widgets and optimized for performance, Babel features static linking and LTO optimization. The application provides a clean interface with input and output text areas, supporting Unicode fonts for proper display of diverse scripts. Babel includes comprehensive internationalization support with translations in Chinese, English, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, and French. Additional features include a phonetic chart dialog, an about dialog, and JSON-based mapping configurations for extensibility. Babel is valuable for linguists, language learners, and researchers working with multiple writing systems.
