Understanding Transliteration: Preserving Original Words and Grammar

Transliteration is the process of converting a text from one script or writing system to another. For example, transliterating a text written in Cyrillic script into the Latin script.

In computer science, transliteration is often used to convert text from one encoding to another, such as from Unicode to ASCII.

Transliteration differs from translation in that it does not involve rendering the original text into a different language, but rather preserving the original words and grammar while representing them in a different writing system.
