I work in a public library and I have a library user that comes in and she wants to be able to type an email to her family in Greek using the regular keys on our keyboard and then transliterate the text into Greek characters. Any ideas about an application web or otherwise that will do that for her?

Rumi poems online -- with both the original text and the English translation -- that would tell me how to speak his original texts? I would need either English transliterations (spelling in western alphabet of his original texts, with some way to know which syllable to accent) or an audio file of someone speaking them. Does this exist?

Does anyone know the Cyrillic transliteration of the Chinese city Tianjin? (An acquaintance who's learning Russian really wants to know after an exhaustive Google search that turned up nothing.) Go forth, hive mind! Please. Thanks. :)
