On the other hand, if the correct vowel was patah ( ַ ) with yod, it should be transliterated to Latin “ay,” but Rosette might make a mistake in some cases and output Latin “iy” instead. Scientific transliteration standards map this combination of hirik+yod (אִי) to “iy” (i.e., following the principle of mapping one character to one character), but the Basis Tech transliteration will avoid the “iy” mapping and just use “i.” Hebrew names with hirik+yod Hebrew Suppose the correct spelling of a Hebrew word included a diacritic hirik for the sound “i,” followed by the yod, which is transliterated as “y.” In Hebrew, hirik+yod appears as אִי. There is, however, the case where if the wrong vowel is guessed, an adjacent consonant may also be incorrectly transliterated. Even if the guessed vowel may occasionally be incorrect, Basis Tech should map all the consonants from Hebrew into Latin. Native speakers can read Hebrew without nikud because of the word’s context, but Romanized Hebrew is always written with vowels, so the transliteration involves some guessing at the correct vowels.

Difficulties vocalizing Hebrewįirst, Hebrew is regularly written without nikud, which are marks that indicate how to pronounce words or may stand for vowels. Two difficult Hebrew transliteration cases are worth noting. For example, the folk transliterator maps the Hebrew letters “ט” and “ת” to “t,” a many-to-one mapping. In Hebrew, some letters are pronounced the same, so the Basis Tech scheme will map to the same Latin letter in the transliteration. It should be noted, however, that this scheme has ambiguity, so it is not possible to roundtrip - i.e., convert from Hebrew to Latin and back to Hebrew, with fidelity. The Basis Tech scheme is more user-friendly, as it prioritizes pronounceable transliterations and doesn’t contain diacritic marks. To fulfill these specific requirements, Basis Technology created the “folk” transliteration scheme. On the other hand, most Rosette Name Translator users are looking for Hebrew transliterations that are more compatible with those that show up in a database, or would be used in searches, and are pronounceable.
The UNGEGN uses transliteration standards in service of its mission to compile and disseminate global statistical information.

ISO 259-2 was created to handle the processing of bibliographic information. The existing Hebrew transliteration standards, ISO 259-2:1994 and UNGEGN (United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names) - which Rosette accesses via UNGEGN’s implementation by the ICU open source library - were created for scholars for whom unambiguous scientific transliterations were the top priority. When the Rosette® Name Translator team set out to build a Hebrew-to-Latin character translator, one of the first considerations was: Which Hebrew transliteration standard should we use? As the joke goes, “Standards are great because there are so many to choose from.”
