To me, a tag like "ru-t-it" does mean "translated from Italian into
Russian." If the sense of transcription or transliteration is intended,
I would expect one or both script subtags to be included, instead of
making the tag consumer infer "Cyrillic" from "Russian" and "Latin" from
"Italian." But maybe that's just me.
