When the words from one language are written phonetically i.e. pronunciation wise using the letters of other language, it is called TRANSLITERATION. This is used for names. The name remains the same, let the language be any. E.g. "Suresh" is my friend. His name means The King of Gods in Sanskrit. When I call him, I simply call him Hellow "Suresh" & not as "Hellow King of Gods".
While when the actual meaning of the word in converted to the other language, it is called translation.
