The ImageCache project page says that it requires you to install and enable the Transliteration module. However, within the Site Building>Modules section, the description for ImageCache only says that it "Depends on: ImageAPI."

The description field should be updated to state that the Transliteration module is required or the project page should not list the Transliteration module as a requirement.

it's required in the -dev version so when the next release comes out it will be required. no harm in having people install it ahead of time since it fixes a lot of bugs.

Good to know. Just didn't want it to slip under the radar and confuse people.

i do appreciate you bringing it up, i'd planned to get a release out sooner but have gotten busy with some other projects so it definitely sat longer than it should have.

Might be of value to note also that the transliteration module page reads: "Drupal 5 didn't take care of invalid (according to RFC 2396) and non-ASCII characters in filenames, which could break file attachments, image uploads, etc.
While Drupal 6 and later are not affected by this issue, cleaning filenames still might make sense from an esthetic point of view."

Thus, to me, a neophyte, it reads that 5 needed this but for 6 it's optional. When I melded that thinking with the admin/modules page, where I was able to install imagecache without transliteration, I concluded that it's not needed.

I'm never one to think unique thoughts so I bet someone else will think this, too. :-)
