+% Transliteration is _currently_ a good idea as most fonts/applications do not
+% have the correct diacritics for "t comma bellow" (U021A, U021B) and 
+% "s comma bellow" (U0218, U0219). Thus we currently use and compromise with
+% "t cedilla" (U0162, U0163) - which, actually, does not belong to any 
+% language - and "s cedilla" (U015E, U015F) - which is _not_ correct for
+% Romanian, but is correct for Turkish.
+%
+% This issue should be fixed in the future, when enough font and application
+% support will be provided in current operating systems.
