    The Spectrum Transliterator componant relies on ICU4J. ICU4J means International Component for Unicode for Java.  It is a mature, widely used Java library providing Unicode and Globalization support based on the ICU specifications.

    With the Spectrum transliteration component you can override the default transliteration values mapping in the stage options by passing a specific TransliteratorID. For instance getting rid of diacritics for better data matching is very easy by passing the value "Latin-ASCII" - not exposed in the stage - .Transliterator identifiers could be Basic, Filtered or Compound as explained there: http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/general
