An online transliteration service that converts any text from the Uzbek Cyrillic alphabet to the Uzbek Latin alphabet (and back).
Interestingly, people call our service many different names: translator, converter, perevodchik, online converter, kril-lotin translator, Cyrillic-Latin translator.
Lotin.uz is a transliteration service from Uzbek Cyrillic to Uzbek Latin that works accurately and takes exception words into account.
Under Resolution No. 61 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 10 February 2021, "On measures to ensure a gradual full transition to the Uzbek alphabet based on the Latin script", official documents and other correspondence are now being drafted, accepted and published in the Latin-based Uzbek alphabet. Our service therefore helps:
Yes, of course. As you know, Uzbek is written in two alphabets today, Latin and Cyrillic, and sometimes a text written in Latin needs to be converted (transliterated) into Cyrillic. Retyping a text in the other alphabet takes a long time, so with Lotin.uz you save time and transliterate your text into the alphabet you need.
The main differences between Lotin.uz and other sites:
Lotin.uz keeps an exceptions list for such words, and it grows every day. That is why most well-known brands and abbreviations pass through transliteration without errors. If a brand or company name needs to be added to the exceptions, click on the word and send it via the "report an error" feature. We believe in continuous improvement.
On many sites and in correspondence this word is written and pronounced in different ways. For example: крил, кирил, кирилица, рус ҳарфлари, krill, qiril, qrill, kril, kiril, kirilsa, kirilitsa, kirillsa, krillsa, ruscha harflar and others. The correct spelling is: Кирилл or Kirill.
Some web pages use Latin, Латин, Латын and similar spellings. The correct spelling is: Lotin or Лотин.
No. We write in Uzbek using the Latin-based alphabet, or in Uzbek using the Cyrillic-based alphabet.
At the moment the site offers only an online Latin → Cyrillic and Cyrillic → Latin conversion service. The site is designed to be convenient on both computers and mobile phones.
Lotin.uz is like a living organism: it keeps developing and improving. The help of our users is invaluable in this process. Users can rate the transliteration service or send us a message using the "report an error" feature. Reported errors are reviewed with specialists, after which changes are published on the site.
Our site is at your service 24 hours a day. Your text is instantly converted (transliterated) from Latin to Cyrillic and from Cyrillic to Latin.
The site has been providing Uzbek transliteration since 2019. During this time 923,500 users have visited the site and transliterated all kinds of texts. We hope this number will keep growing and that the site will help all our users.
First of all, thank you very much for using our site. Yes, you can support the site, and all funds collected are reinvested in its development. To do so, transfer any amount to card number 5614 6825 1643 3986.
On 21 October 2026, Uzbek Language Day, the President signed the law updating the Latin-based Uzbek alphabet. The new alphabet has 28 letters and one tutuq (apostrophe) sign. Four letters changed: Sh → Ş, Ch → Ç, O‘ → Ö, G‘ → Ğ. Ng was removed from the alphabet as a separate letter, but the spelling of words stays the same.
A new Uzbek alphabet converter is an online tool that automatically converts text from the old Latin spelling (sh, ch, o‘, g‘) or from Cyrillic into the updated Latin alphabet (ş, ç, ö, ğ). On Lotin.uz, choose the "Latin → New Latin" or "Cyrillic → New Latin" direction, paste your text and get the result instantly.
Paste your text into Lotin.uz, pick "New Latin" in the second list and click "Translit". The service replaces sh → ş, ch → ç, o‘ → ö, g‘ → ğ while preserving exception words and brand names. You can copy the result or download it as a file.
Yes. Lotin.uz first converts Cyrillic to the current Latin alphabet and then to the new alphabet. You don't need to do the intermediate step by hand: just choose the "Cyrillic → New Latin" direction.
Yes. The "New Latin → Latin" direction turns ş, ç, ö, ğ back into sh, ch, o‘, g‘. In words such as Is'hoq, the letters s and h are kept separate so they are not confused with sh. To go back to Cyrillic, use the regular "Latin → Cyrillic" direction.
Ng was removed from the alphabet as a separate letter, but the spelling of words does not change: tong, rang, ming are written as before. That is why the converter leaves the ng combination untouched.
In the new alphabet the mark in o‘ and g‘ disappears, because these letters become ö and ğ. The tutuq sign remains only in words like ma'no, san'at, e'lon. During conversion Lotin.uz normalises the different apostrophe characters (ʻ ʼ ' ’) into a single correct form.
The law was signed on 21 October 2026. The transition is gradual: school textbooks will move to the new alphabet between 2027 and 2031, and signboards and road signs will be replaced as they reach the end of their service life. Exact deadlines are set by the officially published documents.
No. Existing documents, the national currency and securities remain valid. They do not need to be reissued because of the new alphabet.
The first Latin alphabet adopted in 1993 had the letters Ş, Ç, Õ, Ğ; in 1995 they were replaced by the digraphs Sh, Ch, O‘, G‘. The updated alphabet returns to the "one sound, one letter" principle: text becomes shorter, confusion such as sh vs s'h disappears, and the script moves closer to the alphabets of other Turkic languages.
The easiest way is to type with the usual sh, ch, o‘, g‘ and convert the text on Lotin.uz. For regular typing, add the Turkish (Q) keyboard layout on Windows or macOS: it has all four letters. On Android and iPhone, press and hold o, g, s, c and pick ö, ğ, ş, ç from the pop-up list.
Yes. Upload a file of up to 10 MB in the "Convert file alphabet" section and pick "New Latin" as the output alphabet. Lotin.uz converts the text in the file and keeps the document structure. Text inside images is not converted.
Lotin.uz has been running since 2019 and has served more than 900,000 users. Key differences: a constantly growing dictionary of exception words and brand names, two-way conversion between Cyrillic and Latin, correct handling of the letter Ц and phonetic suffixes, no limit on text length, an open API for developers, and an interface in Uzbek, Russian and English. The new alphabet mode runs on the same engine, so exceptions come out correctly in the new letters too.
Lotin.uz uses an exceptions dictionary: brands, foreign names and abbreviations are preserved during conversion. If a name is converted incorrectly, send it via "Report an error"; our specialists will check it and add it to the dictionary.
Yes. The Lotin.uz API has a separate mode for converting to the new Uzbek alphabet. Use it to bulk-convert text on your website, in your app or in your database to ş, ç, ö, ğ. Documentation is at lotin.uz/docs.
Lotin.uz does not publish submitted texts and does not share them with third parties. Text is processed only for conversion.
