You would need to do your own mapping from language code to transliterator name, since it only has converters for az/tr, el, lt and "Any", with no fallbacks. For example if you did Transliterator::create("en-Upper")->transliterate('a') you would get a fatal error. Presumably if I submitted a PR adding wrappers for u_strToUpper() etc., it would not be rejected on the basis that we already have transliterators. -- Tim Starling
