Abstract
Kurdish is written in different scripts. The two most popular scripts are Latin and Persian-Arabic. However, not all Kurdish readers are familiar with both mentioned scripts that could be resolved by automatic transliterators. So far, the developed tools mostly transliterate Persian-Arabic scripts into Latin. We present a transliterator to transliterate Kurdish texts in Latin into Persian-Arabic script. We also discuss the issues that should be considered in the transliteration process. The tool is a part of Kurdish BLARK, and it is publicly available for non-commercial use
