Documentation

Convert all the FIDEL characters in the current buffer to the SERA format.

FIDEL is the Amharic alphabet; SERA (System for Ethiopic Representation in ASCII) is the Latin representation of Ethiopic script. The variable ethio-primary-language specifies the primary language and ethio-secondary-language specifies the secondary.

If the 1st optional argument SECONDARY is non-nil, try to convert the region so that it begins with the secondary language; otherwise with the primary language.

If the 2nd optional argument FORCE is non-nil, convert even if the buffer is read-only.

See also the descriptions of the variables ethio-use-colon-for-colon(var)/ethio-use-colon-for-colon(fun), ethio-use-three-dot-question(var)/ethio-use-three-dot-question(fun), ethio-quote-vowel-always and ethio-numeric-reduction.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.1.
