Naming Transliteration Tool (Khmer to Latin/English)

I just see that there is a tool by NIPTITC institute to help writing Khmer name to Latin written, it is very useful for Cambodian people to write their name in Latin characters.


Example here, the name in Khmer is កុសល ចំរើន the tool provide 3 kinds of written :

  1. Character Model: e.g. KOSOL CHAMREUN
  2. Syllable Model: e.g. KOSOL CHAMRAEUN
  3. SMT Model(*): e.g. KOL CHAMROEUN

So if you are looking for the Khmer transliteration tool, I think this research r&d tool, you can try: http://rnd.niptict.edu.kh/tran/.

Remark:
(*) I don't really find a source of translation, I think "SMT" should stand for: Statistical Machine Translation which is in another research by this organization.
