Transliteration is the technique that changes Arabic writing into a Latin substitute. Since there are many letters in Arabic which have no Latin equivalent, either the combination of two letters, or special qualities are added to normal Latin letters.
To the newcomer to Arabic, the transliterations can appear confusing, but it is an excellent system of both recapturing Arabic writing, as well as helping with your pronunciation.
Moreover, you should note that the pronunciation of normal letters is not necessarily identical to how you utter things in your own language. Therefore, this site is very helpful to clarify the rules of transliteration.
