If translitration is dependent on the translation then my original request may be more involved than I thought.
I started playing around with transliteration about 10 years ago for Persian/Farsi (based on the Arabic script). The logic has evolved over time and it now uses a 50K+ word list. My beta site (http://www.emonshi.com) uses web servcies and AJAX. But... I like the google approach better. It uses one editbox and converts after each space character, on screen keyboards, and word lookups. It has a smaller impact on the page design. And... it is google ;) Waiting to hear from the Moderator.
