Yes, we definitly need this. At least the non-latin1 of us ;).

The translating routine should go to wsemul_vt100_translate
(wscons/wsemul_vt100_keys.c) IMO. And this

seems somewhat wrong, as KS_GROUP() confuses ASCII and Latin1. Better KS_GROUP
should look like

#define KS_GROUP(k)	((k) >= 0x0300 && (k) < 0x0370 ? KS_GROUP_Dead : \
			    (((k) & 0xf000) == 0xe000 ? KS_GROUP_Keycode : \
  			      (((k) & 0xf800) == 0xf000 ? ((k) & 0xff00) : \
  				(((k) < 0x0080) ? KS_GROUP_Ascii : \
  				  KS_GROUP_Else))))

which would make your code convert only ASCII chars (<0x80). I think
more complex approach to multilingual wscons (in the spirit of World21)
is the right way to go (not to think my opinion is the important one).
