- Manually convert the translation table to code. E.g. a function that takes a single character, and returns the translated character by
- checking a sequence of if statements,
- using one large switch statement, or
- querying a map data structure.

- creating a second translation table for uppercase letters, or
- converting uppercase letters to lowercase letters by using a library function, or by manipulating their underlying ASCII values.
- Finally a single pass through the text, outputting the translated characters.
