Sanskrit/Khmer/Chinese support

[berger-n]

I guess this is some kind of "niche" feature but I've found a bunch of issues:

• regarding Sanskrit, it seems to be handled as English and thus can't be displayed as IAST according to user preferences: link
  (contrary to the Authors here, which can be displayed either as IAST or Devanagari)

  

  

---

• something that could be related, it seems that any etext in Sanskrit is tagged as English and thus can't be transliterated either: link1 / link2

---

• search in Khmer Unicode doesn't work
  (duplicate of: Search in Khmer does not work well. Autosuggest works. autocomplete-prototype#22)
  even if you just copy/paste the title from something in the Pali Tradition: link
  note that you do have results using transliteration: link
  which contradicts what's explained in the How to find things

---

• search in Chinese works when using the full author name but not a substring of it: link

thanks! Ah yes, I should convert the Devanagari strings into IAST in the database... and yes, fix the search for SEA languages, sorry for that!
