If the conversion between Cyrillics and Latin is strictly one-to-one, then it should be fairly simple to support that, since most related code is already written. All we need is probably a mapping table between the Cyrillics and the Latin alphabet. If you can put the table somewhere, I can probably implement it and put up a test site fairly quickly. But since I have no knowledge with those languages, I can be wrong.
The last time this was brought up, I seem to recall that the conversion is _not_ perfect; foreign words and names of either Latin or Cyrillic-spelling origin may not use the generic conversions. Also if you're quoting eg foreign-language text, math, or programming code (all likely to come up in an encyclopedia) it's going to be harder; it'd be necessary to be able to specify non-convertible text.
