Yes, transliterations are between different scripts. However, there are
often different transliterations *between the same two scripts* that vary by
language. To take your example, the transliterations customarily used
between the Greek script and the Latin script are different in the cases:

Transcription does not require roundtrip. It is intended in this case for
the English speaker to be able to deliver an approximate pronunciation
adapted to his native vocal capabilities.
And with the availability of Unicode, I think the need for transliteration
is fading. It seems that these schem

In that case, we'd call it a transcription,
since it doesn't roundtrip from source to target back to source. It is actually
quite common for style guides for non-academic publications to have a restricted

I've read selected messages in this thread (on Unicode list) and some messages
