I can't understand Arabian. I'm no expert. Is there a way to do the
transliteration automatically in a consistent way?
Acconding to wikipedia there exist multiple ways to do so:

If it is possible in a consistent way then there is no need to store
this in the database. A map wanting to display it can easily calculate
the romanized form.
