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

[Huda Toriq]

Actually I have been wanted to address this issue. We, Indonesian have
a lot of traditional languages and scripts. Some of them have been
approved by unicode consortium, some are still in the review process.

We are still developing fonts and input tables for it on Google code.
We are planning to deploy the scripts into widely used software /
site, e.g. WordPress and wikipedia to introduce and socialize it into
users.

Latin character is also widely used in some traditional languages, so
I'm thinking of providing both latin and its own script. But the
problem is, it is too complex to create transliteration schema for the
script. So maybe we need to manually create 2 different releases for
each languages.

Could we do such thing in the wp i18n? And could we use single site to
host multiple language releases, e.g. using id.wordpress.org to host
Indonesian, javanese, sundanese, balinese, buginese, etc
