Simplest is to map the 'extra' letters to ASCII letters above 'z'. Then you don't have to change the data structure, or the move generator, or the tile evaluator, or the lexicon tools. For example, when I adapted Maven to Spanish, I mapped the LL digraph to 'z' + 1. When you do this, you have to allow for the possibility that a LL word will be spelled using two L tiles rather than the LL digraph. This is done by storing both spellings.
