Install from PyPI:

pip install arabic2latin

Alternatively, install from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/rexa222/arabic2latin

from arabic2latin import arabic_to_latin

arabic_text = "السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ"
arabic_converted_text = arabic_to_latin(arabic_text)

persian_text = "سلام بر همگی"
persian__converted_text = arabic_to_latin(persian_text)

print("Arbic converted text: " + converted_text)
print("Persian converted text: " + converted_text)

Output:

Arbic converted text: alsaalaamo aalayka
Persian converted text: salam bar hamagy
