Transliteration of '''Sanskrit''' from IAST to Devanagari and vice-versa as well as from and to other Indic languages is available in ConTeXt. The following transliteration schemes are supported with more planned:
{|
!Transliteration Scheme
!Vector
|-
|Devanagari to IAST
|<code>deva to iast</code>
|-
|IAST to Devanagari
|<code>iast to deva</code>
|-
|Devanagari to Malayalam
|<code>deva to mlym</code>
|-
|Malayalam to Devanagari
|<code>mlym to deva</code>
|-

|-
|Telugu to Devanagari
|<code>tlgu to deva</code>
|-
|Devanagari to Bengali
|<code>deva to bngl</code>
|-
|Bengali to Devanagari

The main macro to set up a transliteration is {{cmd|definetransliteration}}.
<texcode>
\definetransliteration
[TrDevaToIAST]
[vector={deva to iast},
define=yes]
</texcode>
The above defines a slew of macros for both inline and block transliteration:
<texcode>
\starttext
\starttransliteration[TrDevaToIAST]
महाजनस्य संसर्गः कस्य नोन्नतिकारकः।
पद्मपत्रस्थितं तोयं धत्ते मुक्ताफलश्रियम्॥
\stoptransliteration
\stoptext
