In this paper we are presenting Statistical Machine Translation system to Transliterate Proper nouns written in Punjabi language into its equivalent English language. The main purpose of transliteration is removing the language barrier for communication. It can also use various information retrieval systems. Transliteration is a process to generate the words from the source language to the target language while keeping the pronunciation of the source and target words equivalent. The reverse process is know as backward transliteration. This system can be used in various government organizations in Punjab because Punjabi is an official language of Punjab. The proposed system is divided to two parts – learning and transliteration.
