In this video, we explore how fuzzy name matching helps compare names across different spellings and scripts, such as matching “Sophia” with a “ph” to “Sofia” with an “f.” The process is especially important for languages using non-Latin scripts like Chinese or Arabic, where transliteration standards vary and vowels may be absent. Fuzzy matching software uses fault-tolerant algorithms to account for these differences, helping ensure that records match even when names are spelled or transliterated differently. Babel Street Match helps address the complexities of transliterating Chinese names and beyond.
