From other similar questions, I understand that what you call "transliteration", is more typical for some language and cultural phenomena of India. You should understand it might not be applicable to all languages. (If you want, I can give you some examples later.) And even with some (or all) languages of India, transliteration in English is not precise (look at EPA table to see what I mean).

So, you should explain what is your language and either describe its phonetic structure and expected transliteration rules, or appeal only to members who know all that (but be careful).

For my understanding, could you explain to me why transliteration is important and why using it. Why not using the languages with Unicode? Sorry if my question is naive, but please explain.

Hi, I think you got it little wrong. Transliteration has nothing to do with any specific language or culture in India.
As per Wikipedia definition "From an information-theoretical point of view, systematic transliteration is a mapping from one system of writing into another, word by word, or ideally letter by letter"
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration

I am from India, and I didnt know the word, so got curious and searched.

If you think that I'm wrong, you might be right, let's see, but I suspect that you simply are not familiar with some other languages where transliteration makes no sense.

This Wikipedia "definition" is not a definition at all, but just an introductory phrase. The problem of transliteration is, well, a problem. I think you don't have an idea how complex it can be. One part of the problem is extremely irregular character of English (very regular and simple in other aspects) orthography.

I only faced the automatic transliteration only when it was related to some language of India. It tells me something. You probably did not think how unique is your country in terms of language.

And I asked: "why transliteration?" Could anyone answer.

If you can get it to work in one textbox it seems that it should be very easy to do on a different one. Can you share your code?
