You removed the quoting that provided context, but I was responding to your claim that it was a "very common name" and that you "suspected naming conflicts might happen". But in fact "Transliterator" is much more confusing than "BreakIterator". In fact, the name "Transliterator" is an ICU artifact of the past, that module is now called "Text Transformation" as it provides a generic text transformation API, not specifically for transliteration. -- Gustavo Lopes
