Hi, there's some issues with transliteration from Chinese unicode characters:

Some of them don't seem to be present: 北京 = BeiJing slugs to "-1"
When some characters are slugged in a correct way, it seems to be a Cantonese transliteration.

The problem with Chinese characters is that there's a lot of possible ways to do a romanization of these characters. So in Taiwan they will need a different romanization than they use in China. Some characters are even common with Japanese who I am sure have a different way of romanizing them as well.

If you let me know how you use and format your character dictionaries I could try to provide one for Chinese characters.

Also do you think it would be possible to have "pluggable" dictionaries so that people with different needs could chose different ones?
