WHAT DOES TRANSLITERATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Transliteration

Transliteration is the conversion of a text from one script to another. For instance, the Greek phrase "Ελληνική Δημοκρατία" 'Hellenic Republic' can be transliterated as "Ellēnikē Dēmokratia" by substituting Greek letters for Latin letters. Transliteration can form an essential part of transcription which converts text from one writing system into another. Transliteration is not concerned with representing the phonemics of the original: it only strives to represent the characters accurately. Thus, in the above example, λλ is transliterated as 'll', but pronounced /l/, and η is transliterated as 'ē', though it is pronounced /i/ and is not long.

Definition of transliterate in the English dictionary

The definition of transliterate in the dictionary is to transcribe into corresponding letters of another alphabet.
