What is Transliteration?

Transliteration is the process of converting text from one writing system to another while preserving the pronunciation. Unlike translation, which changes the meaning to another language, transliteration maintains the same words but represents them in a different alphabet. For example, when you translate Russian letters to English letters, the Russian word "Привет" (hello) becomes "Privet" in Latin script. This Cyrillic alphabet to English alphabet conversion helps bridge communication between different writing systems.
