Per change record https://www.drupal.org/node/1842748 Core Transliteration is not suitable for this purpose as stated:

The core/component transliteration classes do basic character-by-character transliteration using a database of generic character transliterations and language-specific overrides, which is OK for basic uses such as creating legal file names and machine names, but not good for transliterating prose (which would require consideration of context, capitalization, etc.).

Recommendation is to use custom approach in lack of better solution, same as in D7 version of the module.
