Text transliteration
Instant translation of Cyrillic to Latin according to GOST
Cyrillic to Latin converter
🔄 Instant transliteration according to ICAO standard
This tool converts Russian text (Cyrillic) into English letters (Latin). We use the official standard ICAO Doc 9303, which is mandatory for passports, airline tickets and international licenses.
Where is this necessary?
- ✈️ Travel:The name on the air ticket must match letter-for-letter with the passport (for example, Shchukin → Shchukin).
- 💳 Bank cards:For correct embossing of the name on the plastic.
- 📦 Parcels and addresses: For purchases on foreign sites (AliExpress, Amazon) where the Cyrillic alphabet is not understood.
- 🌐 For webmasters:To create CNC links (URL).
Transliteration table (Crib)
If you need to check only one complex letter, use this table. ICAO standard:
| Letter | Analog | Example |
|---|---|---|
| E / E | E | Elena → Elena |
| ZH | ZH | Zhanna → Zhanna |
| I | I | Iodine → Iod |
| Х | KH | Khariton → Khariton |
| Ts | TS | Tsvetkov → Tsvetkov |
| CH | CH | Chadov → Chadov |
| SH | SH | Shura → Shura |

| Ъ / b | IE / - | In passports b is often omitted |
| Y | Y | Crimea → Krym |

Please note: according to the new rules, the letter “U” is often written as IU, and “I” as IA.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
🔹 Are there any restrictions on text length?
Almost not. You can translate both individual words and entire documents. If you need to make sure that the text will fit into a form field (for example, up to 100 characters), check the result using the character counting tool.
🔹 How is the letter “Ё” translated?
In modern passports, the letter “Ё” is transliterated as “E”. For example, Peter → Petr, Semyon → Semen. This is done to unify machine-readable zones.
🔹 Is it possible to convert units of measurement?
This converter only works with letters. If you need to convert meters to feet or kilograms to pounds, use specialized length or weight converters.
