Translating and Transliterating

Session Information

One of the challenges of credentials evaluation is working with documents in different languages. The more you rely on a translation, the more opportunities there are for you to be misled, through faulty or interpretive translations, or inadvertently. Credentials evaluators need to read native language documents and identify common characteristics, words or characters, and more. This is harder when the alphabet used is different than your own, and you cannot easily type things into an online translator. In this session, we will explore some of the strategies for transliterating from a different alphabet such as the Latin alphabet to Cyrillic.
