I don't know about asian languages, but for russian it would be a heresy to do so. Yes, there exists an informal "latin" equivalent way to write russian, but it was never intended to be used by Russian users, it's rather for western people to be able to vocalize (*very* approximately) russian words and phrases. As for actual russian users, there is CP866, and that's what shall be used for DOS text interfaces.
