Something to consider: if you go the route of trying to get a single "translation" of each word, you may miss out on some possible alternates.

For instance, in German, when replacing the "s-set", some people might use "B", while others might use "ss". Or, replacing an umlauted o with "o" or "oe". Any solution you come up with, ideally, I would think should include both.
