konverto

Konverto is a term used in several languages to denote the act or result of transformation, notably conversion between states, formats, or representations. It is cognate with the Latin verb convertere and with English convert and conversion.

In linguistics, konverto can refer to translation or adaptation between languages or scripts, including transliteration. In mathematics and science, it denotes unit conversions, measurement transformations, and changes of representation (for example, converting Celsius to Fahrenheit or numbers between bases). In computing, konverto is used as a generic label for data- or media-format conversion, data serialization, or protocol translation.

Usage varies by language: some spellings render konverto with a k; others use converto or konverti in related forms. As a project name, konverto has occasionally appeared in open-source software, typically as a tool or library placeholder for conversion tasks, rather than as a formal standard.

Because konverto is not a single, unified standard, its precise meaning is determined by context. See also: conversion, converter, data conversion, unit conversion.
