[mkgmap-dev] Transliteration

A question popped up on the OSM forum about the many ??? in my maps. They are a result of the single code page which is used for the whole world and missing automatic transliteration. I'm starting to understand what's needed for automatic transliteration: detection of source language and various methods for transliteration to another language (some languages suffice with 1-on-1 character replacement, others need lookup tables etc). The subject has been mentioned on this mailinglist before but doesn't seem like it's very active, so: is anyone working on this? The discussion on the OSM forum starts here (and further down): http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=42175#p42175
