Transliteration means taking the symbols of one readable language and converting them to another set of symbols. Like 'Владимир Ильич Ульянов' in Russian Cyrillic becoming 'Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov' in English Latin script.

I think what you meant was 'literal translation'. Sorry if this seems like a nitpick but these terms mean completely different things.
