Converting in the text editor
Open a document and go to the Analysis & Translation tab:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| L-C | Whole document: Latin → Cyrillic. |
| C-L | Whole document: Cyrillic → current Latin. |
| New Latin | Whole document → new Latin alphabet (Ö Ğ Ş Ç). |
| Fix apostrophes | Normalises o‘ g‘ and the apostrophe ’. |
The buttons convert the whole document: body text, headers and footers, footnotes and endnotes, comments and text boxes.
Converting only part of the text
Select the text
A word, a sentence or several paragraphs.
Right-click the selection
Choose the conversion you need in the menu. Only the selected text changes.
Latin → Cyrillic
This is not a letter-by-letter swap: the converter follows Uzbek spelling rules. For example, sh and ch become ш and ч, o‘ and g‘ become ў and ғ, and ye, yo, yu, ya become е, ё, ю, я where the rules require it. s’h (as in Is’hoq) is correctly kept as two letters: сҳ.
Cyrillic → Latin
Letters that don't exist in Latin are converted by rule: ц, е at the start of a word, the soft sign ь and the hard sign ъ (which becomes the apostrophe ’). The result uses the correct o‘ g‘ characters, not look-alikes.
The new Latin alphabet
The New Latin button (and the same option in the online converter) switches text to the updated alphabet, where four letters change:
| Current Latin | New Latin | Cyrillic |
|---|---|---|
O‘ o‘ | Ö ö | Ў ў |
G‘ g‘ | Ğ ğ | Ғ ғ |
Sh sh | Ş ş | Ш ш |
Ch ch | Ç ç | Ч ч |
The revised alphabet — 28 letters and 1 apostrophe sign — was set by Law No. ZRU-1184 of 21 October 2026 and takes effect on 22 April 2027 (law text on lex.uz). Documents issued in the current Latin alphabet remain valid.
Spell check can follow either alphabet — choose Spelling: current Latin, Spelling: new Latin or Spelling: both alphabets on the same tab.
Fixing apostrophes
Different keyboards type o‘, g‘ and the apostrophe differently — as ', `, ʻ or ʼ. That breaks spell check and search. Fix apostrophes replaces all of them with the correct characters: ‘ after o and g, and ’ everywhere else (ma’lumot).
What stays the same
Only the letters change. Fonts, sizes, colours, bold and italic, headings, lists, tables, pictures and page layout stay exactly as they were.
If a document mixes Uzbek with Russian or English passages, convert only the Uzbek parts via the right-click menu so the other languages aren't touched.
In Word, Excel and PowerPoint
The UzOffice add-ins add the same conversion, the new alphabet, apostrophe fixing and Uzbek spell check to Word, Excel and PowerPoint on Windows: whole documents in Word, cells in Excel (formulas stay unchanged), slides and notes in PowerPoint. The add-in is activated with an API key from your account: the 7-day trial includes one key, after that you need a subscription.
Frequently asked questions
Is this translation?
No. The words stay Uzbek; only the alphabet changes.
Can I undo a conversion?
Convert back with the opposite button — for example C-L after L-C. If you are not sure, download a copy of the document before converting.
Is my text saved by the online converter?
No. It is sent to the server only for the conversion and is not stored.
