We need guidance for converting foreign language text into English characters. We just need it in English text, even though it is gibberish. i.e (one English char represents a char in the foreign language.)
Thanks.

1255 text?
Actually any foreign language text or font ...sorry if there was confusion.
The foreign text is roughly 300,000 characters long and resides in a .txt file.
It can't be done very easily by computer. You'll need the same techniques used in text-to-speech programs to turn the foreign text into speech, then speech-to-text techniques to turn the speech into a Latin (which is what English uses) font.
We just need one English character to represent one character of the foreign language. So we don't need it actually translated - it could look like this - fjyyiutnrtrvhtvrunmhnio. As long as one char is unique to one char of the foreign language.
Each character has a distinct value, and each value has a distinct character. You can display any text in any font - you don't need to translate anything.
it would be pretty complicated to represent every unicode characters with a unique alpha character, for one reason there is just too many of them and only 26 (or 52) alphas
There are only 22 different letters in the foreign language we are talking about.
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE POSTINGS BEFORE RESPONDING. THE TEXT DOES NEED CONVERSION AND DOES NOT HAVE THE VALUES OF STANDARD ENGLISH TEXT.
