For most languages such native > transliterations exist. IMHO you are woefully unaware of the fuzziness of a transliteration process. Transliterating is akin to showing a colour to people and asking them to write down its RVB value (without using a colour picker tool). Some people will guess close, very experienced people will guess mighty close, but there's no way the results will be accurate or consistent. And that is without taking national sensitivities into account. You may not care people transliterate your name but that's not the case of everyone. Hell, many English-speaking people object if you force them to use orthographic rules of other English-speaking zones, and that's not even converting to another language, in another alphabet, of Names (not random words), using rules defined by another (maybe unfriendly) country. -- Nicolas Mailhot
