No! No! No! No! No! No! No! 

Transliteration is one thing, which can be managed by an algorithm. Translation is something else entirely. There is NO TAG WHATSOVER that can tell you why someone might choose to use "entirely" as oppose to "wholely" for translating German "ganz". 

"t" must only be for script transformation, in my view.
