daniel added a comment. In MediaWiki, representations of the same language in different scripts are called "language variants". Don't take that term too seriously, it's just a name for codes that say "this is Serbian written in Cyrillic", etc. MediaWiki supports automatic transliteration between some such variants. We already use that kind of transliteration for display, and we allow the script to be specified for input, e.g. for monolingual text (if we don't, that's a simple bug). I can however imaging that it doesn't work perfectly when searching, or for some other use cases.
So, we have some support for this. I'm not sure what this ticket is actually asking for. I also don't understand why Gerard thinks the current system of "variants" is not sufficient. If there is something related to different scripts that you think is needed, but cannot be done currently, please write it down as a story, step by step.
