Can anyone suggest the best transliteration library to Marathi from English or Marathi written in English?

I tried using indic-transliteration library but it doesnt work with marathi and the only other possible option I found was google translate API which has a lot of time lag.

I tried using this but my output is different with a "B"

import codecs,string
from indic_transliteration import sanscript
from indic_transliteration.sanscript import SchemeMap, SCHEMES, transliterate

def is_hindi(character):
    maxchar = max(character)
    if u'\u0900' <= maxchar <= u'\u097f':
        return character
    else:
        print(transliterate(character, sanscript.ITRANS, sanscript.DEVANAGARI)) 

character = 'Bakrya vikne ahe'
is_hindi(character)

Output:

Bअक्र्य विक्ने अहे

You can check out Polyglot. As far as transliteration it supports 69 languages.As per documentation it supports Marathi(#47). There is one more older module. Update: with the given module try using lowercase .There is no detailed explanation in the docs.

character = 'bakrya vikne ahe'
