The transliteration tool converts Cyrillic text into Latin letters and instantly builds a ready-to-use URL slug from it — a clean, human-readable address for pages, files, and links. It works instantly in your browser.
How to get a transliteration and URL slug
- Type Russian text into the field above — an article title, for example.
- The first field shows the Latin transliteration; the second shows a URL slug.
- Click "Copy" next to the result you need.
Example: Лучшие отзывы о сервисах → luchshie-otzyvy-o-servisah.
Why a readable URL slug matters
- SEO. An address with real words (
/reviews-of-hosting) indexes better and contains keywords, unlike/page?id=347. - Click-through. A readable link is more likely to be clicked in search results and shared.
- Compatibility. Latin characters in addresses and file names don't break when copied, sent in messengers, or moved between servers.
Frequently asked questions
Which transliteration standard is used?
A practical scheme close to the common convention for the web (ж → zh, ч → ch, ш → sh, щ → shch, and so on). It produces a readable, predictable result for URLs.
How does a URL slug differ from plain transliteration?
Transliteration keeps case and spaces; a slug also lowercases everything, replaces spaces and symbols with hyphens, and trims the rest — giving you a ready address.
Is this the same as Punycode?
No. Transliteration is for page and file URLs. For internationalized domain names, use the Punycode converter.
