Edit Question
Title
Body
I would like to write the following code: import string frm = b'acdefhnoprstuw' to = 'אקדיפהנופרסתאו' trans_table = string.maketrans(frm, to) hebrew_phrase = 'fear cuts deeper than swords'.translate(trans_table) The above code doesn't work because the to parameter to string.maketrans(frm, to) has to be a byte sequence, not a string. The problem is that byte sequences can only contain ASCII literal characters. Therefore I cannot make a transformation which translates English strings to Hebrew strings. The reason is that string.maketrans() retruns a bytes object. Is there an elegant way to use the string.maketrans() and translate() functions (or equivalent functions that work with unicode) for my task?
