Comments

This schema defines alternatives for many letters, but does not specify when to use which:

е → e (ye)
ё → yo (jo)
й → j (i,y)
х → x (kh)
ц → c (tz,cz)
ъ → '' (empty)
ь → ' (empty)
ю → yu (ju) я → ya (ja)

iuliia uses the first of suggested translations for each such letter.

Examples

Iuliia::Gost7034.translate("Юлия, съешь ещё этих мягких французских булок из Йошкар-Олы, да выпей алтайского чаю")
# => "Yuliya, s''esh' eshhyo etix myagkix francuzskix bulok iz Joshkar-Oly, da vypej altajskogo chayu"
