Reimplement character convertor (translitterators) for post input (as an independent extension) #7

Most notably: x-sampa -> IPA

I can provide the original unilang8bb sources of this as reference if needed.

How about a simple virtual keyboard wikipedia-style or typeit-style? I'm currently working on one: http://i.imgur.com/m2GPrDM.png

Of course there'd be a dropdown allowing to change the layout... IPA, Latin/Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, etc.

That definitely sounds good!!! Especially for occassional 'special' symbols it would be great and more user friendly than typing translitterationg, although I do think that for larger text some may still prefer to type a translitteration and have it converted on the fly, rather than click a lot.

Hmm, that's true. I have already written a simple virtual keyboard and made a pull request, but which one is better? Or should we have both? A simple converter doesn’t sound difficult, especially if there’s an existing set of rules in the old source. :)
