title: PHP transliterate specify locale
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/transliterator.transliterate.php" rel="nofollow">PHP Transliterator</a> (from php5-intl, using ICU) to transliterate CJK to Latin (Romanization), problem is, I need some ways to specify the input locale so that Japanese Kanji are not romanized into Chinese Pinyin (as they often share the same <a href="http://www.unicode.org/faq/han_cjk.html#3" rel="nofollow">utf8 character</a>).</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <p><code>transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; Lower();', $input);</code></p>
  
  <p><code>中国オタク界 =&gt; zhong guo otaku jie</code></p>
  
  <p>while i would like to get:</p>
  
  <p><code>中国オタク界 =&gt; chuu goku otaku kai</code></p>
  
  <p>Any idea?</p>

  <p>Further research on the <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/general" rel="nofollow">ICU site</a> suggest the problem might be that <code>Han-Latin</code> only follow Pinyin transliteration, so I am looking for a way to allow php5-intl to tell ICU to use Romaji transliteration instead (I haven't found such id).</p>
