How do you translate the Russian Cyrillic alphabet into the Latin alphabet?

Babelfish can translate from Russian to English, but not from Cyrillic alphabet to Latin alphabet. How do you do this, and is there some sort of translator-site which does this?|||Yes, you can use http://www.translit.cc/ or http://www.translit.ru/ to perform transliterations to and from Cyrillic.





I highly recommend, however, that you spend an hour some time learning the basic Cyrillic alphabet and the associated sounds and pronunciation rules, because there is no solid standard for transliteration, and people usually tend to just write out the sounds as they are used to hearing them, rather than as they are supposed to be read.|||Not really. The switching of alphabets is accurately termed transliteration, and there is no really standardised system for it between Cyrillic and English. However, Wikipedia and other sites have a basic idea of the transliteration, and from there you should be able to figure it out. Or find a translator that uses Russian Cyrillic script to English Latin script. I think Google Translate does.|||This link can help too:
