The standard behavior so far for my maps in Japan or China was to use
--latin1, and hope that all towns/cities/names if not name:en present -
got transliterated decently into latin characters.
However if using Unicode this is of course not happening.
Could there be a command like {set name='${mkgmap:trans:name}' }
That way one could build a map that is usable for people who do
understand the local script/language, and who don't by setting all names
e.g.
name=('name:en|name:int|mkgmap:trans:name''(name in e.g. Japanese Script) '
Even better would of course be if there would be an additional function
to check if "name" is already in two scripts - this is often the case
for Japan or Thailand or Singapore... Dunno if that is easy to
implement. I hope/guess the above /mkgmap:trans:name/ would be easy, as
the code exists if you use e.g. --latin1.
