Sorry the at_engilsh was a typo. And it is an apache rewrite rule, though my question really doesn't pertain to the rewrite rule at all. The rules function just fine, the question is more just for operating on one iteration of the string and using awk to transform into the other iteration.

Yes this is exactly what I needed, thank you for your assistance and apologies for my less than stellar description of what I was looking for!

GENBRK(1)							 ICU 50.1.2 Manual							 GENBRK(1)

NAME
genbrk - Compiles ICU break iteration rules source files into binary data files SYNOPSIS
genbrk [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir direc- tory ] -r, --rules rule-file -o, --out output-file DESCRIPTION
genbrk reads the break (boundary) rule source code from rule-file and creates a break iteration data file. Normally this data file has the .brk extension. The details of the rule syntax can be found in ICU's User Guide. OPTIONS
-h, -?, --help Print help about usage and exit. -V, --version Print the version of genbrk and exit. -c, --copyright Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file. -v, --verbose Display extra informative messages during execution. -d, --destdir destination Set the destination directory of the output-file to destination. -i, --icudatadir directory Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory. For example, the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data is not built as a shared library. The default ICU data directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA. Most configurations of ICU do not require this argument. -r, --rules rule-file The source file to read. -o, --out output-file The output data file to write. CAVEATS
When the rule-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file, which is the Unicode character U+FEFF, then the rule-file is interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM, the file is interpreted in the current operating system default codepage. In order to elimi- nate any ambiguity of the encoding for how the rule-file was written, it is recommended that you write this file in UTF-8 with the BOM. ENVIRONMENT
ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to /usr/share/icu/50.1.2/. Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set. AUTHORS
