Whereas Xiphos offers transliteration as a module option, giving an alternative view of the module, other ideas might be explored by front-end developers. Here are some ideas that might be considered:
 
−
 
 
−
* Interlinear display option, with the original text and transliterated text on alternate lines
 
−
* Index the transliteration to provide search feature support
 
−
* Keyboard entry of transliteration words in the search dialogue for the original text

A module could be created with the transliterated words coded in OSIS using Ruby markup.[http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/] This may be especially useful for transliterating those languages which are not yet supported by ICU.
