as reported by Borbie on the wall:

I think the Cyrillic/Latin transliterator for Uzbek is redundant, since the language has officially transitioned into the Latin alphabet in 2023, and some languages using both alphabets already don't have that feature (for example, Serbian).

The transliteration feature was there when Uzbek was first added into Tatoeba, back in 2010.

I remember Georgian having the transliteration feature, but that was removed since it was redundant for a phonemic language.

It is technically possible to convert existing Cyrillic sentences into Latin and remove the transliterator, but there is also the functionality of seamless search in Latin/Cyrillic, which, if we decide to keep, may or may not be possible to do in Manticore.

I think we need more insight on the matter before going on with this. Maybe the Cyrillic script could be still useful to some people out there.
