It no longer works. I once used it to transliterate Belarusian from Cyrillic into Latin, but when I used it to try to transliterate Kazakh from Cyrillic into Latin, it doesn't work properly. I can't edit the HTML in the settings. Search and Replace is on Version is 2.0.8 The webpage isn't a problem. It works fine, but I can't edit the HTML in the settings page. It might be an error in the code for editing HTML?
