What is Transliteration?

Transliteration is the process of converting text from one writing system to another, representing the sounds or characters of one script using the characters of another. Unlike translation, which converts meaning between languages, transliteration focuses on representing the sounds or characters of the source script.

Our free online transliteration tool converts between Cyrillic (used in Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and other languages) and Latin scripts. This is useful for typing Russian text using a standard keyboard, creating URLs with Cyrillic content, or converting names and terms between scripts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between transliteration and translation?

Transliteration converts text from one writing system to another (e.g., Cyrillic to Latin), representing sounds or characters. Translation converts meaning between languages. For example, "Привет" transliterates to "Privet" (same meaning, different script), while it translates to "Hello" (different language).

Which transliteration standard does this tool use?

Our tool uses a common transliteration scheme that maps Cyrillic characters to their Latin equivalents. This is based on standard transliteration practices used for Russian and other Cyrillic-based languages.

Can I transliterate other languages that use Cyrillic?

While our tool is optimized for Russian, it can handle other Cyrillic-based languages like Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and others. Some language-specific characters may have different transliterations.
