                        case 'Ç':
                                MetaphAdd("S");

                                        //germanic, greek, or otherwise 'ch' 
for 'kh' sound
                                        if((StringAt(0, 4, "VAN ", "VON ", "") OR StringAt(0, 3, 
"SCH", ""))

bool MString::SlavoGermanic()

...etc.

IMHO, your affirmation that "it is completely useless for languages different from 
English" is a little bit "forced".

Do you actually read the source?
