Transliteration

Conversion of a text from one script to another

Transliteration is the attempt to represent the text of one language in the writing system of another. For instance, for the Greek term ⟨Ελληνική Δημοκρατία⟩, which is usually translated as 'Hellenic Republic', the usual transliteration into the Latin script (romanization) is ⟨Hellēnikḗ Dēmokratía⟩; and the Russian term ⟨Российская Республика⟩, which is usually translated as 'Russian Republic', can be transliterated either as ⟨Rossiyskaya Respublika⟩ or alternatively as ⟨Rossijskaja Respublika⟩. Transliteration is the process of representing or intending to represent a word, phrase, or text in a different script or writing system.
