# About Transliteration is the process of converting texts from one script to another based on the phonetic similarity. Here, the text is displayed in alphabets of different languages, but the pronunciation, grammar, and sense of the original version remain intact in these new characters. The transliteration is involved while converting the names, addresses, titles, and more into Indian languages as localization is important without changing meaning. For better understanding, refer to the below examples: Example: | Type | English | Hindi | | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | City Name | New Delhi | न्यू दिल्ली | | City Name | Pune | पुणे | | Address | Evershine Park, Veera Desai Industrial Estate, Andheri West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400102 | एवरशाइन पार्क, वीरा देसाई इंडस्ट्रियल इस्टेट, अन्धेरी वेस्ट, मुंबई, महाराष्ट्र 400102 | | Address | Total Mall, Behind Koramangala, Bengaluru | टोटल मॉल, बिहाइंड कोरमंगला, बेंगलुरु | ### Features Reverie's Transliteration comes with unique features that have been tuned over years of working with Industry and Academia ## Abbreviations Reverie's Transliteration for Travel has domain specific abbreviations in-built.
