FAQ

Questions.

What is transliteration?

Transliteration is converting text from one writing system to another while preserving pronunciation. Unlike translation (which converts meaning), transliteration converts sounds. For example: Москва (Russian) → Moskva (Latin).

What's the difference between transliteration and translation?

Translation converts meaning between languages (Привет → Hello). Transliteration converts writing systems while keeping sounds (Привет → Privet). Transliteration doesn't change the language, just how it's written.

Which scripts are supported?

Currently supports: Cyrillic (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian), Arabic (Arabic, Persian, Urdu), Greek (Ancient and Modern), and Hebrew. Each uses standard romanization schemes.

Is the transliteration reversible?

No, transliteration is generally not reversible. Multiple original characters may map to the same Latin character, and context-dependent rules make reverse conversion ambiguous. It's a one-way transformation.

Why use transliteration?

Transliteration is useful for: creating URL slugs, generating database keys, improving search, making text readable for non-native speakers, creating ASCII-safe identifiers, and internationalizing applications.

Can I use this for creating URL slugs?

Yes! Transliteration is perfect for creating URL-safe slugs from international names. For example: 'Владивосток' becomes 'vladivostok' which works perfectly in URLs.

Does it work with mixed-script text?

Yes! The tool only transliterates characters from the selected script. Latin characters, numbers, and punctuation pass through unchanged. You can have mixed English and Russian text.

Which transliteration standard is used?

Uses ISO 9 for Cyrillic, ISO 233 for Arabic, ISO 843 for Greek, and ISO 259 for Hebrew. These are internationally recognized standards for romanization.

Can I process large documents?

Yes! Upload text files of any size. The tool processes everything instantly in your browser without size limits.

Is my text data private?

Absolutely! All transliteration happens locally in your browser. No text is sent to any server. Your content remains completely private.
