Transliteration: Cyrillic ↔ Latin
Transliterate Russian text into Latin letters or convert Latin translit back to Cyrillic — for URLs, filenames, tickets and international forms.
Щука и юла, эх! → Shchuka i yula, ekh!
Frequently asked questions
Which transliteration standards are supported?
Four: a practical scheme common in URLs (ж → zh, щ → shch, ю → yu); GOST 7.79-2000 system B (ISO 9: й → jj, ы → y', ц → c); the legacy GOST 16876-71 (й → j, х → x); and the MVD/foreign-passport scheme per ICAO Doc 9303, used in the machine-readable zone (й → i, ё → e, ъ → ie, ю → iu, я → ia).
Which standard should I use for a foreign passport or air ticket?
Choose «MVD / foreign passport (ICAO)»: Russian passports use the ICAO machine-readable-zone transliteration, where й and ё become «e», щ becomes «shch», and ю/я become «iu»/«ia». So «Щербаков» → SHCHERBAKOV.
Can I convert Latin translit back to Cyrillic?
Yes — switch to «Latin → Cyrillic». The reverse conversion uses the multi-letter pairs of the selected standard (shch → щ, kh → х, yu → ю and so on).
