Cyrillic to Latin transliteration

Convert Russian and Kazakh text to Latin while keeping spaces, punctuation, and case

About Cyrillic to Latin

Turn Russian and Kazakh text into Latin in the browser. Words, spaces, and punctuation stay in place.

Transliteration replaces letters, it does not translate meaning. It is useful for addresses, names, documents, and messages that need a Latin form.

FreeWay covers the Russian alphabet and Kazakh letters ә, ғ, қ, ң, ө, ұ, ү, һ, and і. Capitals stay capitals: «Алматы» becomes «Almaty».

Spaces, digits, and punctuation are kept. For a URL slug, use the separate slug generator.

The text is processed in the browser and is not uploaded. Copy the result when it looks right.

Does this translate the text?

No. Letters are replaced with Latin equivalents. The meaning stays the same: «улица» becomes «ulitsa», not «street».

Are spaces kept?

Yes. Spaces, line breaks, digits, and punctuation stay where they are.

How is this different from the slug generator?

Transliteration keeps normal text. The slug generator removes spaces and builds one string for a page address.
