Yes, it is a java script issue. But users in all wikis are not experts in java script to fix this issue. We know that something needs to be done in commons.js or vector.js, but we are unable to figure it out.
Hence solutions from experienced users who know java script is very much appreciated. May be some one can provide us different types of solutions reagrding the placement of check box. But this feature is a must for wikis that use non-latin scripts.

I think it's just a JS issue. Another thing is how to place the checkbox (or another switch tool) and not to screw up the top-right of the page. I would place just checkbox with no label to the right of the search button. It's quite acceptable if you'll pin this stuff to #p-search.

For Monobook, many wikis have placed a control box near the search box to switch on/off the transliteration script. See the attached image (monobook.png) to get an idea where it is placed.
