Answer 2

Are you talking about transliterating from German/French into English? If so, that doesn't make much sense. Transliteration is used to convert one system of text/writing into another, like Greek to English or German to Chinese. With French, German, and English, there is no need to transliterate because they all use the same alphabet/writing system.

Was your question more about how to add a transliteration feature a la Google and you just used French and German as an example?
