Abstract: Transliteration of NAMED ENTITIES plays an important role for cross language information retrieval processes. This paper shows the design of a hybrid (rule based + fuzzy based) transliteration system for named entities of person, location, organizations written in Odia script to English (Roman Script). For this purpose, we have also created a database of specialized spelling i.e. location names, organization names…etc. which helped for performance improvement with accuracy 87%.
