Is there such a thing as an online Romanization tool that I can use to transliterate Russian, Farsi, Hebrew (etc) words into characters that I can try to pronounce? I'm finding Babelfish to be quite useless as I try to coin terms based on foreign words that use alphabets I don't understand.

Even if you find one, it won't help you with conjugation and other grammatical/usage issues. You need speakers of each.

I volunteer for Hebrew. [Smile]

I'm only trying to coin a bastardized word, not translate entire sentences, so the transliterator should be enough [Smile]

Thanks! I'll check out the links you guys sent me!
