 that this is not the same as translation -- it is the sound of the words that is converted from one alphabet to the other, not their meaning.
 Converted content will always be in Unicode.

 === Thoughts about server-side implementation ===
 Another idea that came up is, that it would be nice if a user could search for something by using his or her language specific letters. For example, a user wants to search for "Aspirin" in Arabic letters. Currently, he won't find anything, as the UTF-8 encodings of roman letters are different from the Arabic letters ("Aspirin" == "أسبرين" would fail). The idea is to reverse transliterate the non-roman string into roman letters on server-side and perform the search with the reverse-transliterated string.
