## Extending characters map
You can use the Latinize.charmap object to access the translation dictionary or to change the mapping
```typescript
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'});
```
