Japanese transliteration returns poor quality results

Han Liu 1

The Japanese transliterator is returning poor quality result with most sentences (especially on long sentences). The main issue is that it is skipping characters to be transliterated.

Examples:
"店主が毎日の使用量の記事を販売していたバザールが一つありました" -> "tes gamisargats arimashita". (the characters 使用量の記事を販売していたバザールが一つ weren't transliterated)
"家に帰りたい" -> "canicility"
"パンジャブ州のあらゆる角から牛は飼い主によって運ばれます" -> "pan jabyotten balemas"
"すべての言語の翻字フィールドで翻訳が繰り返されないようにする" -> "sube tenogaclihesarenai younisuru"

Thank you for the reply. But this is not a feedback but more like a bug report - the Japanese transliteration is basically unusable because it can't even transliterate simple sentences correctly. More examples with simple sentences:
ご協力ありがとうございました -> gokyoriorigatougozai (This means 'thank you for your help', and the transliteration ignored the いました at the end)
こんばんは -> combang (This mean 'good evening', and the transliteration complete ignored the は at the end)

Note that the transliteration is kind of working if we insert space between every characters:
'ご協力ありがとうございました' -> 'go kyo liok a ri ga to u go za i ma si ta'
'こんばんは' -> 'ko n ba n ha'

We want to know if this is going to be fixed any time soon, or if this is just how it expects to work. Thanks for your help.
