transliterate
Transliterate is the process of converting or transcribing texts or words from one writing system to another. The aim of transliteration is to represent the original script in a form that can be pronounced relatively accurately using a different script. Unlike translation, which conveys the meaning of words, transliteration focuses on the phonetic equivalent of the original text.
Webster Dictionary
Transliterateverb

Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
