Transliteration is a conversion of a text from one writing system to another. It swaps letters in predictable ways (such as � → a, � → d, � → ch, � → n or æ → ae). The word comes from the prefix "trans-" (in this case, referring to switching the letters around) + the Latin word "littera" (meaning "letter") + the suffix "-ation" (which makes the word into a noun that talks about the process of doing something).
