Bulgarian Transliteration Online
Convert Bulgarian Cyrillic into Latin letters and, where the selected method supports it, Latin translit back to Cyrillic. Use Streamlined transliteration for readable Bulgarian names and ISO 9 for reversible technical romanization.
Bulgarian Cyrillic to Latin transliteration
Convert Bulgarian Cyrillic text into Latin letters. Universal mode is readable, Streamlined transliteration is widely used for names and signage, and ISO 9 is suitable for strict technical romanization.
Latin to Bulgarian Cyrillic
Reverse conversion is available for reversible methods such as Universal and ISO 9. The Streamlined system is mainly one-way, so it should not be used when exact Latin-to-Cyrillic restoration is required.
Streamlined Bulgarian transliteration
Streamlined transliteration is a practical system for representing Bulgarian Cyrillic with Latin letters. It is common in public signage, personal names and readable international spelling.
ISO 9 Bulgarian transliteration
ISO 9 maps Cyrillic letters to Latin equivalents in a more strictly reversible way. It is useful for libraries, databases, academic work and technical systems where every original letter should be recoverable.
Bulgarian transliteration for URLs
For URL slugs, use a readable Latin form, lowercase it and replace spaces with hyphens. For public-facing pages, readability is usually more important than strict reversibility.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a Bulgarian translator?
No. It converts Bulgarian Cyrillic into Latin letters and can convert Latin translit back to Cyrillic for supported methods. It does not translate Bulgarian words into English.
What is Streamlined Bulgarian transliteration?
Streamlined transliteration is a readable Bulgarian romanization system often used for names, signage and public-facing text. It is practical, but not designed as a fully reversible technical system.
Why is Streamlined transliteration one-way?
Some readable Latin spellings do not preserve enough information to restore the exact Cyrillic original. Use ISO 9 when reversibility is more important than readability.
What is ISO 9 for Bulgarian?
ISO 9 is a formal romanization standard for Cyrillic scripts. It is useful when each Cyrillic letter needs a defined Latin equivalent and the original spelling should be recoverable.
How are Bulgarian ъ and щ transliterated?
In simplified and Streamlined-style transliteration, ъ is often rendered as a, while щ is usually rendered as sht. ISO 9 may use different symbols to preserve strict letter mapping.
Can I use this for Bulgarian names and documents?
Use the result as a reference. Official documents, passports and institutional systems may require a specific transliteration rule, so check the required standard before submitting names.
Can I use Bulgarian transliteration for URLs?
Yes. A readable Latin output is often best for URLs. Lowercase the result, remove punctuation and use hyphens between words.
