Module of the Week
Trasliteration - https://drupal.org/project/transliteration
Provides one-way string transliteration (romanization) and cleans file names during upload by replacing unwanted characters.
Generally spoken, it takes Unicode text and tries to represent it in US-ASCII characters (universally displayable, unaccented characters) by attempting to transliterate the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system to Roman letters.
