TRANSLITERATE Meaning and Definition

1. Transliterate is a verb that refers to the act or process of converting the characters and symbols of one writing system into the equivalent characters or symbols of another writing system, while maintaining the same pronunciation. This conversion is facilitated by substituting letters or characters that have a similar sound or meaning in the target language.

   The purpose of transliteration is to enable the written representation of a word, phrase, or text in one language to be understood or pronounced in a different language. It does not involve translating the meaning of the words, but rather focuses on preserving the phonetic representation. For example, when transliterating a word from the Cyrillic script of the Russian language to the Latin script used in most Western languages, the goal is to accurately represent the pronunciation of the Russian word in a way that a reader following the Latin script can approximate it correctly.

   Transliteration plays a significant role in various areas, such as language learning, literature, scientific research, and international communication. It assists in creating a bridge between different writing systems and promotes cross-cultural understanding. Additionally, it aids in the representation of names, terms, or technical words that do not have established translations. Transliteration systems and conventions may vary depending on the languages involved, but they generally follow consistent rules and guidelines to ensure accuracy and clarity in the conversion process.
