Transliteration converts text from one script to another. Our tool lets you type Portuguese words using English letters, and it converts them to Portuguese script automatically.
Is Portuguese 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 Portuguese word in Portuguese script instead of English letters.
