This is an interesting question in general. Many languages have undergone a change in writing method (generally towards Romanization): Turkish, like Malay, has gone from an Arabic-inspired to Latin script, Vietnamese from Chinese characters to Latin script, and various ex-Soviet languages like Moldavian and Azerbaijani have moved from Cyrillic to Latin script. What happens to historically important works written in the old style? Are they republished with the new alphabet?
