MediaWiki's Kazakh localization includes support for the LanguageConverter
variants system, with automated conversion rules between Latin, Cyrillic, and
Arabic scripts.

Currently the Azeri localization doesn't have this support set up, so the
conversions don't happen even if you hack in copies of the variant selection
tabs.


It looks like the script situation here is similar to other languages in the
region (for historical geopolitical reasons, the modern speaker community is
split over areas using Persian/Arabic, Cyrillic, and Latin scripts though
usually the post-Soviet official style is Latin script) and having the
conversion working probably would be beneficial for some people:

Kazakh (LanguageKk class) does the closest to what's requested, and probably
could be adapted. Somebody needs to confirm the conversion rules etc.
