Noone ever, except situations when Cyrillic keyboard
is not available.
When it's not available, they use "translit" -- a horrible intuitive
latinization. :)

I have never seen any Latin script book in Ossetic in
all my life. I
only know, that they have existed.
I was just wondering :-) It occurred to me that we have some wikis in two
scripts, e.g. Kurdish (
ku.wikipedia.org), which is the same words in Latin
and Arabic. But if Latin use is negligible, it's probably not worth special
effort.
