Accurate transliteration should be fine though. There are also Slavic languages, such as Polish or Czech, that use the Latin alphabet. One of the annoying things about Latin transliteration is that people use different phonetics of western languages. Should you use y or j for palatal sounds? Seems like there are also french influenced transliterations for vowels. These can be inconsistent based on the source.
