Definition<\/h2>\n
\n

The Transliterator converts text from Romanized Arabic (Arabic written in English characters) to native Arabic script and vice versa. A common example of that is the transliteration of named entities<\/p>\n

Features<\/h2>\n

Translation of named entities<\/h3>\n

It provides conversion of proper names, from English characters to Arabic and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Transliteration of text<\/h3>\n

By converting Romanized Arabic to Arabic, it becomes easier to write in Arabic script even without an Arabic keyboard.<\/p>\n

Candidate generation<\/h3>\n
