Yes, DM is correct. Chris added ICU transliteration to SWORD years back.
To let your users enable it in your frontend you can make a simple call,
e.g.
mgr.setGlobalOption("Transliteration", "Latin");
"Latin" can be replaced with any of the following:
"Off",
"Latin",
"IPA",
"Basic Latin",
"SBL",
"TC",
"Beta",
"BGreek",
"SERA",
"Hugoye",
"UNGEGN",
"ISO",
"ALA-LC",
"BGN-PCGN",
"Greek",
"Hebrew",
"Cyrillic",
"Arabic",
"Syriac",
"Katakana",
"Hiragana",
"Hangul",
"Devanagari",
"Tamil",
"Bengali",
"Gurmukhi",
"Gujarati",
"Oriya",
"Telugu",
"Kannada",
"Malayalam",
"Thai",
"Georgian",
"Armenian",
"Ethiopic",
"Gothic",
"Ugaritic",
"Coptic",
"Meroitic",
"Linear B",
"Cypriot",
"Runic",
"Ogham",
"Thaana",
"Glagolitic",
"Tengwar",
"Cirth"
