Transliteration is the process of converting names and other words into another alphabet, 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)
