Hi Felix
Could there be a command like {set name='${mkgmap:trans:name}' } That way one could build a map that is usable for people who do understand the local script/language, and who don't by setting all names e.g. name=('name:en|name:int|mkgmap:trans:name''(name in e.g. Japanese Script) '
A quick patch attached which is a first attempt at such a thing. Usage: ${name|ascii:} ${name|latin1:} You need the colon there at the moment, but I will fix that if we go with this syntax. An alternative syntax could be: ${name|transliterate:ascii}
Even better would of course be if there would be an additional function to check if "name" is already in two scripts - this is often the case for Japan or Thailand or Singapore... Dunno if that is easy to implement. I hope/guess the above /mkgmap:trans:name/ would be easy, as the code exists if you use e.g. --latin1.
