This has already been done. Since the beginning of the language, even
though the Latin alphabet was the official standard, it was
permissable to transcribe into Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Greek
character sets. They even created words for it. The words {ru'o}
{ge'o} {je'o} and {lo'a} are a set of verbal "shift keys". They mean
to dictate to a computer or amanuensis that they should shift
letterals to Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, and Lojban (Latin)
character sets respectively.
