Verb

transkribieren (weak, third-person singular present transkribiert, past tense transkribierte, past participle transkribiert, auxiliary haben)

Usage notes

  • A distinction is often recommended between transkribieren meaning a conversion into another script based on actual pronunciation and transliterieren meaning such a conversion based on the written letters. However, this distinction is not always followed, nor is it always possible since many common systems of transliteration are in fact combinations of both approaches.
