Extending characters map

You can use the Latinize.charmap object to access the translation dictionary or to change the mapping

Latinize.charmap['Ω'] = 'O';

// modify the behavior for German umlauts 
_.extend(Latinize.charmap,
  {'Ä': 'Ae', 'Ä': 'Ae', 'Ü': 'Ue', 'ä': 'ae', 'ö': 'oe', 'ü': 'ue'});
