Pitfalls of Transliteration in Indexing and Searching"Transliteration from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet, particularly in connection with publications in the Russian language, may make it almost impossible to locate the name of an author in an index. Special difficulties occur in connection with Russian names that come via French or German—the same name may be written as Shdanow in German, Jdanoff in French, and Zhdanov in English."
