Описание (английский):

Is one of a series of International Standards dealing with the conversion of systems of writing, following the principles of stringent conversion in order to permit international information exchange. Its aim is to provide a means for international communication of written messages in a form which permits the automatic transmission and reconstitution of these by men or machines. Cancels and replaces ISO Recommendation R 233-1961.

Overview

ISO 233:1984 - Documentation - Transliteration of Arabic characters into Latin characters - is an international standard establishing a stringent, reversible system for converting Arabic script into Latin (roman) characters. Published in 1984 by ISO/TC 46, it replaces ISO Recommendation R 233-1961 and aims to enable unambiguous international information exchange, automatic transmission and reconstitution of written messages by people or machines.

Key topics and requirements

Stringent transliteration (one-to-one mapping): The standard defines a character-by-character transliteration system intended to be fully reversible, so Latin output can be retransliterated back into the original Arabic graphism without ambiguity.

Conversion levels: Describes three levels - stringent (fully reversible), simplified (for constrained systems or machines), and popular (national or journalistic practice) - and explains when each is appropriate.

Transliteration vs transcription vs retransliteration: ISO 233 distinguishes transliteration (character mapping), transcription (phonetic rendering), and retransliteration (recovering original script), clarifying use-cases and limits of each approach.

Handling of vowels and incomplete orthography: Because Arabic often omits vowel marks, the standard specifies methods for texts that do or do not supply vowels and offers guidance on representing vowels/diphthongs.

Detailed tables and signs: The standard contains transliteration tables for consonants (Table 1), vowels and diphthongs (Table 2), conventional signs (Table 3, e.g., hamza, sukun, maddah, definite article) and punctuation (Table 4).

Diacritical marks: Diacritics used are referenced to ISO 5426 (code table) and an annex lists their code table positions for consistent encoding.

Language-invariant mapping: Where the same Arabic character appears across different languages, it should be transliterated consistently, regardless of language-specific pronunciation.

Applications and users

ISO 233 is practical for:

Librarians, cataloguers and bibliographers creating consistent author names, titles and toponymic lists across multilingual catalogues.

Archivists and publishers who require unambiguous romanization in indexes, references and citations.

Software engineers and database designers implementing search, indexing, machine-readable exchange and reversible romanization routines.

Geographers and translators producing standardized place names and scholarly texts.

Data exchange systems that must support automatic transmission and round-trip reconstruction between Arabic and Latin scripts.
