Now I personally don't know those but I'm sure there are still some weird words that are spelled in an unexpected way, especially if we include words that originated from other languages.
What we usualy do is write ~~what re~~(edit: how we) read e.g.:
transit -> tranzit
scale -> skala
band -> bend
buisness -> biznis
display -> displej
eins -> anjs
anlasser -> anlaser
ziegel -> cigla
ziehverschluss -> cifersluš
böbrek -> bubreg
yastık-> jastuk
reggipetto -> ređipet
scatola -> škatola
asciugamano -> šugaman
ambassade -> ambasada
clochard -> klošar
directeur -> direktor
That's actually really cool
