I like the feature, although I wonder how feasible it is.
Would this be automatic?

Sure it would be automatic, using algorithms such as "soundex" or "metaphone", or also using the "levenshtein distance".
Actually I did something similar in a previous project, so I feel confident ;-)

It would work for all languages written with the latin alphabet.
It wouldn't work for chinese, japanese, arabic, hebrew, etc. unfortunately.

For levenshtein ok but not for soundex.

"Notez bien que soundex() prend en compte la prononciation à l'anglaise, et non pas à la française." (from php doc)

anonymous, there is also double_metaphone that takes in consideration french, spanish, etc. but it requirers a PECL extension.
Anyway, I guess a levenstein distance would be enough :) and it's simpler
