I presume that this is in the context of Solr, and spell-checking. We did this as an exercise for Indian-language words transliterated into English, hooking into the open-source spell-checking library, aspell, which provided us with a soundex-like algorithm (the actual algorithm is quite different, but works better than soundex, at least for our use case). We were quite satisfied with the results, though unfortunately this never went into production. Would be glad to help, though I am going to be really busy the next few days. Please do provide us with more details on your requirements. Regards, Gora
