Is your feature already implemented in the latest master?
No

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
when displaying track metadata/lyrics that contains non-Latin scripts for example Japanese, Arabic,
there is no way to see a romanized version, especially for RTL languages as there's no terminal emulator that fully supports them.

Describe the solution you'd like
add optional romanization support for text fields like track title, album name, artist, and lyrics.
we could use an existing tool such as uroman(python) or uroman-rs.

This could be exposed as a new config boolean i.e. enableRomanization
