Thank=0Ayou very much for your fast reaction.=0A There=0Ais no official sta=
ndard transliteration. All we have, are more or=0Aless standard proposals. =
The standard, I use ("invented"),=0Ais called Alefb=C3=A2ye 2om, which mean=
s 2nd alphabet. Soon I will=0Apublish materials about it in English, as the=
y are in German at the=0Amoment. I will also update the Wikipedia page you =
mentioned.=0A As=0Afar as I know, this is the only proposal for which there=
 exists a=0Aspell check dictionary. Currently there is also a Persian-Germa=
n and=0AGerman-Persian (Babylon) dictionary for this script. In the future=
=0Athis dictionary will also be provided for English.=0A "Persian=0A(2nd Al=
phabet)" would be perfect, although "Persian=0A(Latin)=E2=80=9D would be fi=
ne as well. And if it could come with=0AOpenOffice 4, that would be great.=
=0A Please=0Alet me know, if and until when you need any special informatio=
n.=C2=A0 =0A=0A Once=0Aagain thank you very much for your support. I apprec=
iate it very=0Amuch.=0A=0AKind=0Aregards=0A Hamid=0AFarroukh=0A=0A=0A______=

western language"? Users should see an entry in the language=0A> selection =
indicating Persian.=0A=0AAdding another language is feasible. We prefer to =
add languages that have an ISO code or some form of standardization. It wou=
ldn't be called "Persian" to avoid name clash, but something like "Persian =
(Latin)" or "Persian (Fingilish)" (if that's the name) could be feasible. N=

 or German, or French and so on.=0A=0A> 2- If not, may I publish it to the=
