Converting String From Turkish To English

It is not the most perfect solution for this kind of conversion but I just wanted it to be found when I need a quick solution. I needed this for validating an e-mail address so here it is.

public static string getEnglishVersionOfTheString(string comingString)
{
    System.Text.StringBuilder ourResult = new System.Text.StringBuilder(comingString);

    if (comingString.Contains(@"Ğ") || comingString.Contains(@"ğ") ||
        comingString.Contains(@"Ü") || comingString.Contains(@"ü") ||
        comingString.Contains(@"İ") || comingString.Contains(@"Ş") ||
        comingString.Contains(@"ş") || comingString.Contains(@"ı") ||
        comingString.Contains(@"Ö") || comingString.Contains(@"ö") ||
        comingString.Contains(@"Ç") || comingString.Contains(@"ç"))
    {
        ourResult.Replace("Ğ", "G");
        ourResult.Replace("ğ", "g");
        ourResult.Replace("Ü", "U");
        ourResult.Replace("ü", "u");
        ourResult.Replace("İ", "I");
        ourResult.Replace("Ş", "S");
        ourResult.Replace("ş", "s");
        ourResult.Replace("ı", "i");
        ourResult.Replace("Ö", "O");
        ourResult.Replace("ö", "o");
        ourResult.Replace("Ç", "C");
        ourResult.Replace("ç", "c");
    }

    return ourResult.ToString();
}

Have a great day.
