Transliteration is a system using which words that are written in a source language script are converted to a target language script. This is not same as translation: For example transliterating the word “bachpan” into Hindi does not return “childhood”. It returns “बचपन”.

Transliteration is converting a word from the English alphabet to the Bengali alphabet, or vice versa. This is useful, for example, to produce a phoneticisized version of Bengali text, for non-Bengali speakers, or to send as a simple text E-mail.
