I'm sorry if I appeard rude, it wasn't my intention; but English is not 
my mother language and I may fail in the expression.

About conversion script, I don't think it would be useful. Most readers 
will feel uncomfortable reading texts in a new spelling, even though 
when that spelling matches best their speech. I don't know the details 
about Chinese, but I suppose some readers will prefer one scripting over 
the other.
