Μετατροπή ελληνικών strings σε λατινικά (greenglish)

Ο παρακάτω κώδικας μετατρέπει ελληνικό κείμενο σε λατινικούς χαρακτήρες. Χρησιμοποιεί διάφορους κανονισμούς που βρήκα από δω και από κει στο web ώστε να κάνει σωστή απόδοση της μετάφρασης, πχ. όπως γίνεται όταν τα ελληνικά ονόματα βγαίνουν με λατινικούς χαρακτήρες στα διαβατήρια.
