[NEW TOOL] Extending the "Text to NATO" spelling tool with other alphabets

Open taffit opened this issue 8 months ago • 7 comments

What tool do you want? I would appreciate if the existing "Text to NATO"-tool can be extended using different spelling alphabets, e. g. for using the German one instead of the American spelling alphabet. This can be very useful for support requests with people from other countries than your own.
Additionally upper-/lowercase should be respected and ideally punctuation characters and numbers should be included as well.

Describe the solution you'd like Extend the existing one by adding a drop-down field/radio buttons where you can select the spelling alphabet to be used, e. g. the current English/American one.
Pasting e. g. "1 Awesome Tool!" would result in (numeral one) (space) Alpha whiskey echo sierra oscar mike echo (space) Tango oscar oscar lima (exclamation mark) (note, that only Alpha and Tango are uppercase) or, if the German one is selected, (Ziffer eins) (Leerzeichen) Aachen wuppertal essen salzwedel offenbach münchen essen (Leerzeichen) Tübingen offenbach offenbach leipzig (Ausrufezeichen).

Is their example of this tool in the wild? Something like the online tool here (which doesn't include numbers, punctuation marks, though, and doesn't respect the case). I've seen it at a commercial password manager, but probably can't include a screenshot here.

Additional context For support issues it would be very helpful if the case is respected. It would be especially useful if operating in or having to deal with users of a different country.
