'''Transliteration''' is the process of converting names and other words into another language, without any attempt at [[translation]].
The [[Japanese language]] has transliterated many English loan words:
*apartment => ''a-pa-a-to''
*Pocket Monsters => ''po-ke-mo-n'' ([[Pokemon]])
Some transliterations hardly change the pronunciation at all:
*radio => ''ra-di-o'' (RAH DEE OH)
