Neural networks for transliteration

Question

I am investigating the possibility of using neural networks for the task of transliteration (transcription from one script to another).

An example of an input = "BRAIN" and the output = "برين".

What would be the best neural network to perform this task? and how the data should be represented?

Thanks

You might look at this paper as a starting point. "A Deep Learning Approach to Machine Transliteration" by Thomas Deselaers

Google has open sourced some of their transliteration models with a link to the scientific paper describing the models:

The repository includes trained models for:

They also include instructions on how to train new models (but it requires that you provide training data).
