[wp-polyglots] Transliteration and use of two scripts in Serbian language

[Milan Dinić]

Kimmo, thank you for your work on this!

I tried your plugin, but before I needed to convert it to UTF-8 and to
change those Cyrillic and Latin letters. It converts only upper-case letters
and it convert them to lower case, so there is need for change in code. I
uploaded my changes in letters here: http://www.divshare.com/i/4277556-b67

Anyway, if this works as I understood from your description how it should
works, then again Nikolay must approve inclusion of it in official release,
or this would be separate project, and something else should be done for
official packages. But in meanwhile, it could work for those who wants Latin
version.

Thanks again!
