Transliteration converts text from one script to another. Our tool lets you type Chinese words using English letters, and it converts them to Chinese script automatically.
Is Chinese transliteration free?

How is transliteration different from translation?
Translation changes the meaning from one language to another. Transliteration keeps the same word but changes the script — e.g., writing a Chinese word in Chinese script instead of English letters.
