Transliterations

This part of the project collects tranliterations of key phrases related to COVID-19 using Wikidata. We search the Wikidata API for entities in src/wikidata_search.py and then we make simple SPARQL queries in src/wikidata_transliterations.py to collect labels and aliases the entities. The labels come with language metadata. This seems to provide a decent initial list of relevant terms across multiple languages.
