Such a tool must be different for the different
latinic languages to have a good practical
transcription (rules of pronunciation).

I have two tables for this transcription
(by AS USSR and by ISO) in my
The Linguistic Encyclopedic Dictionary.

These tables are somewhat *classic* for 
*international* typography, not for computers.

And there are *local* rules for this
transcription in different countries,
first of all, for the correct transliteration
of Russian names with the latinic letters.

Tomorrow, I'll prepare these *classic* tables 
as .bmp with my polyglot editor and post it
to you.

Then you'll can make that tool for youself,
if you want, with your native puter's code pages.

You'll can see that really 'zh' above is not
'zh', but just 'z' with one of diacritics.

Vsego horoshego !

(All good for you !)
