Capitalization ignored #17

YA will transliterate as я and not Я.

We also need to consider Ya and yA.

Well, how do we do that? I use lowercase by default.

Does something like Igor' go to игорь and not Игорь?

Same thing would happen to yu, Yu, yU, and YU, etc.

First, all the Latin goes to Cyrillic, and then the Cyrillic is corrected. So, really, it's not yu/ju that's being corrected - it's ыу/йу that's being corrected to ю. Repeat for the others.

Here's what I suggest for the ja case (repeat for the others with same capitalization rules).

йа - я.

Йа - Я.

ЙА - Я.

йА - ??? Weird!
