Take a look at CFStringTransform(). The details will depend on
exactly what you want to do.
And of course, this process will only work on a subset of all the
Latin-based languages.
Are you using this to build "sort keys"? If so, you should probably
just use the various compare APIs available. Those would also
ensure that the rules honor what the user has set up in their
International prefs.
Yes, that is worth noting. There are also CFStringFold() and
CFStringNormalize() to be considered; exactly what is appropriate
depends on the details of what is wanted. There certainly are cases
where there are good reasons to want to (for example) remove
diacritics from a given string, but in other cases there are better
alternatives. We might be able to give better advice with a broader
description of the problem.
