[sword-devel] One of those weird ideas....

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Yes, DM is correct.  Chris added ICU transliteration to SWORD years back. 
To let your users enable it in your frontend you can make a simple call,
e.g.

mgr.setGlobalOption("Transliteration", "Latin");

"Latin" can be replaced with any of the following:

        "Off",
        "Latin",
        "IPA",
        "Basic Latin",
        "SBL",
        "TC",
        "Beta",
        "BGreek",
        "SERA",
        "Hugoye",
        "UNGEGN",
        "ISO",
        "ALA-LC",
        "BGN-PCGN",
        "Greek",
        "Hebrew",
        "Cyrillic",
        "Arabic",
        "Syriac",
        "Katakana",
        "Hiragana",
        "Hangul",
        "Devanagari",
        "Tamil",
        "Bengali",
        "Gurmukhi",
        "Gujarati",
        "Oriya",
        "Telugu",
        "Kannada",
        "Malayalam",
        "Thai",
        "Georgian",
        "Armenian",
        "Ethiopic",
        "Gothic",
        "Ugaritic",
        "Coptic",
        "Meroitic",
        "Linear B",
        "Cypriot",
        "Runic",
        "Ogham",
        "Thaana",
	"Glagolitic",
        "Tengwar",
        "Cirth"
