CONVERSION OF INPUT TEXT STRINGS
First Claim
1. A method performed by data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving input string having a plurality of terms, the input string being in a first form;
transforming the input string from the first form to a second form including;
applying one or more rules to the input string to identify one or more terms for translation, the one or more identified terms being fewer than the plurality of terms,translating the identified one or more terms to one or more translated terms in the second form, andtransliterating the remaining terms of the plurality of terms into transliterated terms in the second form; and
concatenating the translated and transliterated terms to form a hybrid output string in the second form.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for transforming text strings. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving input string having a plurality of terms, the input string being in a first form; transforming the input string from the first form to a second form including: applying one or more rules to the input string to identify one or more terms for translation, the one or more identified terms being fewer than the plurality of terms, translating the identified one or more terms to one or more translated terms in the second form, and transliterating the remaining terms of the plurality of terms into transliterated terms in the second form; and concatenating the translated and transliterated terms to form a hybrid output string in the second form.

8. A system comprising:
one or more computers operable to interact to perform operations comprising; receiving input string having a plurality of terms, the input string being in a first form; transforming the input string from the first form to a second form including; applying one or more rules to the input string to identify one or more terms for translation, the one or more identified terms being fewer than the plurality of terms, translating the identified one or more terms to one or more translated terms in the second form, and transliterating the remaining terms of the plurality of terms into transliterated terms in the second form; and concatenating the translated and transliterated terms to form a hybrid output string in the second form. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving input string having a plurality of terms, the input string being in a first form; transforming the input string from the first form to a second form including; applying one or more rules to the input string to identify one or more terms for translation, the one or more identified terms being fewer than the plurality of terms, translating the identified one or more terms to one or more translated terms in the second form, and transliterating the remaining terms of the plurality of terms into transliterated terms in the second form; and concatenating the translated and transliterated terms to form a hybrid output string in the second form. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
