shot in the light ;-)
The tables are built at compile time, so if you want to use variables
here you will need to use string eval.
eval "tr/$lettertochange/$lettertochangeto/";
I'm not sure what your /g at the end was doing, but tr doesn't need it.
Don't forget to check $@ to make sure all went well.
