Transliterate; v.t., to represent (letters or words) in the letters or characters of a different alphabet.
Example: the Greek word "baptismos" is transliterated into baptismos, baptism.
Do not confuse transliterate with translate.
Baptism has been transliterated from baptismos, no meaning has been established, only the Greek letters have been changed into English letters. Many words in the new testament have been transliterated instead of translated. This writer will replace the transliterations with literal translations.
