tar jxvf greeklish2greek.tar.bz2
cd greeklish2greek
python greeklish2greek.py
you need pygtk, gtk, libglade and python-libglade and internet connection.
Windows users:
To get all the above (expert from internet connection :P) start from http://pygtk.org/downloads.html
UPDATE: You can also use this web service (limit is 5000 characters which should be enough)
me and my thoughts 
Hi Nikos !
Judged by the picture , your Greeklish to Greek Converter seems to be somewhat near to what I am looking for. [ i need a converter to and fro Greek script]
I have already installed GTK+Runtime. But how can I get the greeklish2greek thing to my Windows XP ?
thank you
Ole
Get http://members.hellug.gr/nkour/greeklish2greek/greeklish2greek.exe and double click that! 🙂
Hi Nikos,
I get: “ImportError: could not import pango
ImportError: could not import pango
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “greeklish2greek.py”, line 21, in ?
File “gtk\__init__.pyc”, line 113, in ?
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Font'”
what do I have to do next ?
thank you for your attention,
Ole
Please install this Runtime from here http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/
genius,
I have installed everything and i too get the
ImportError: could not import pango
ImportError: could not import pango
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “greeklish2greek.py”, line 21, in ?
File “gtk\__init__.pyc”, line 113, in ?
AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Font’
At the moment, I don’t have the mood to recompile to exe.
Get the source from http://members.hellug.gr/nkour/greeklish2greek/greeklish2greek.tar.bz2
then install GTK Runtime from gladewin32.sf.net, Python from python.org, PyGTK from http://pygtk.org/downloads.html
That’s one of the reasons I don’t like Linux. You download a program and you have to install 35 more packages in order to get the bloody thing started.. Cursed dependencies..
In Linux, just use your pkg manager (though chances are you already have those packages are the come pre-installed in most distros)
hi
i have installed python 2.3 in order to install pywin32-210.win32-py2.3
i installed python 2.4 in order to install pygtk-2.10.1-1.win32-py2.4
i intalled python 2.5 (why not )
intalled also the gtk-2.10.11-win32-1
but it doesnt works i still get the error:
ImportError: could not import pango
ImportError: could not import pango
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “greeklish2greek.py”, line 21, in ?
File “gtk\__init__.pyc”, line 113, in ?

i am working on windows xp
http://pygtk.org/downloads.html should make it work for you

Hi. Why don’t you use our service which is free and does the job quickly? Use the WSDL instead and create any program u want with greeklish to greek support. More info… click on my website link.
http://www.avadaz.com/qoolsoft/index.cfm I used this. Yes it’s good as an API but ‘xero’ doesn’t become ξέρω.
in terms of quality http://services.innoetics.com/greeklish/Service.aspx is better and that’s why I use it
Yes there are some words that surely need some revisions. I am planning a big upgrade in the next months and i hope it will take less than a day to implement since some sites use the service already. Thanks for the feedback by the way 🙂
I really think ILSP does spell check or possibly grammar check on the greek produced and that would be a start or this is what I would do. But this app I just did it because I don’t like limits. Greeklish for me is not a problem and in general it’s not something of a top priority anymore (eventhough a tool that would allow me to write greeklish and type greek for me would be more than handy but needs much work and I would never use it since tonos and the rest are needed and sometimes you don’t know if xero is ξέρω or ξερό).
