Questions tagged [transliteration]

Transliteration refers to the process of mapping letters or glyphs from one character encoding to another

Transliteration is the conversion of letters from one alphabet to another one, like from Greek to Latin. But it may as well be just a simplification within one alphabet, for example omitting any diacritics found in that alphabet or substituting special characters with a sequence of characters without diacritics.
