Are you sure you don't mean translate? The pronunciation and characters are so similar. What you are asking is to spell English words phonetically in French, so as that a native French speaker would be using the correct English pronunciation.

If you do mean transliterate you will need a Google Transliterate API Key, see:

http://code.google.com/apis/language...etting_started

if you don't already have one.

The closest example on the Google Transliterate API pages to what you want appears to be:

http://code.google.com/apis/language...ed.html#Single

Once you insert you key into the call for

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi">
    </script>

you should be able to simply change the 'hi' to 'fr' and then switch the 'fr' and the 'en'. This assumes they are supported.

You can always use the:

google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH

google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.FRENCH

But I think it still will depend upon whether these are supported or not. English apparently is. I'm not sure about French.
