This is now included in r3409. There is no longer any need for the ':', so you can just write ${name|ascii}
Side note: In src/uk/me/parabola/imgfmt/app/labelenc/ there are two implementations of the Transliterator interface: SparseTransliterator and TableTransliterator. I see no references to Greek or Cyrillic in any file in the whole directory. I guess we might try to do something (Pinyin?) as Chinese transliteration, if the Java framework does not already do that for us. I wonder if the mkgmap transliteration is compatible with the international standards, such as ISO 843 (Greek) and ISO 9 (Cyrillic). Also national standards exist for Cyrillic transliteration. Quoting a message by Χάρης Καραχριστιανίδης on the OsmAnd mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/osmand/7PTV_nOhNUw "According to this link https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names#Greece ISO 843:1999 should be followed for trancription of Greek Names. So for example Βύρωνος ( don't know if you can read Greek letters) should be Vyronos and not Buronos. As I can see almost all Greek streets are wrongly transcribed." Marko
