TRANSLITERATE_LOOSE	'Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0080-\uffff] remove'	Shortcut for `Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; [\u0080-\uffff] remove` transliteration rule. The rule is loose, letters will be transliterated with the characters of Basic Latin Unicode Block. For example: `获取到どちら Українська: ґ,є, Српска: ђ, њ, џ! ¿Español?` will be transliterated to `huo qu dao dochira Ukrainska: g,e, Srpska: d, n, d! Espanol?` Used in transliterate().
