# Normalize diacritics ### Description Normalize diacritics into the closest ASCII characters, from all strings in a `[OBJ,STRING]` input. E.g.: - Nguyễn Tấn Dũng : Nguyen Tan Dung - St.-Veit-Straße : St.-Veit-Strasse ### Input - `SOURCE [OBJ,STRING]`: a 2-column input with an object-string pair. Typically obtained with the `Extract string` block ### Output - `RESULT [OBJ,STRING]`: the pairs from `SOURCE`, where the string has been modified - `STRINGS [STRING]`: the modified strings, without the object they were paired to Output scores can be [aggregated](docs://score_aggregation) and/or [normalised](docs://score_normalisation).
