[PHP-BUG] Bug #65361 [NEW]: Transliteration has uppercase problems with letter J in Serbian

[pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr]

From:             pascal dot chevrel at free dot fr
Operating system: Linux
PHP version:      5.5.1
Package:          Unicode Engine related
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:Transliteration has uppercase problems with letter J in Serbian

Description:
------------
The transliterator class does not work well when converting from Cyrillic
Serbian to Latin Script Serbian. All the j letters in cyrillic are
systematically converted to uppercase J in latin-script serbian while it
should be lowercase j inside a word.

Online conversion tools probably also based on ICU don't have this bug and
do the conversion correctly.

I am attaching a code sample that shows that bug. I tested that the bug
exists in both PHP 5.4 and 5.5

Thanks!

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$t = Transliterator::create('Serbian-Latin/BGN');
$source = 'Најгледанији сајтови';
echo '<ul>'
    . '<li>Cyrillic source: ' . $source . '</li>'
    . '<li>Expected transliteration: Najgledaniji sajtovi</li>'
    . '<li>Actual transliteration: ' . $t->transliterate($source) .
'</li>'
    . '</ul>';


Expected result:
----------------
This string :
Најгледанији сајтови

Should be transliterated to:
Najgledaniji sajtovi



Actual result:
--------------
But PHP transliterates it to:
NaJgledaniJi saJtovi
