Hi,

I would like to see the code too. There are some transliteration sites  
such as [http://www.word2word.com/translitad.html](http://www.word2word.com/translitad.html)  
I tested the Arabic version, it is not ok. However, if you are thinking  
of developing your own program , I suggest that you use IPA system and  
stay away from phonemes.

best,  
Fatmah
