Question

Short note on transliteration?

Answer 1

Transliteration involves changing the script used to write words in one language to the script of another; taking the letters or characters from a word and changing them into the equivalent characters in another language. This process is concerned with the spelling and not the sound. The sound of the words is handled through yet another “trans” – transcription. When there is a word you don’t want to be changed, interpreted, or explained, but only put into the characters of another language, your translator will use their transliteration skills. This is often the case when it comes to names, addresses and other such material. When you think about Japanese words written in Latin lettering, you are thinking about transliteration.
