Here I don't know what to do ??
First you need to define how your latin input text shall be transliterated into the greek alphabet. See e. g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Greek for possible transliteration tables.
You would then create a JavaScript map from the chosen table:
let transliteration = {"a": "α", "b": "β", ... }
To perform the actual transliteration, you will need to write a function
function transliterate(string) {
var result = "";
for (chr of string) {
result += (transliteration[chr] || "_");
}
return result;
}
For non-transliteratable characters, placeholder "_" will be returned.
If you chose a transliteration scheme which contains bigrams ("ai") or trigrams ("nch"), you could employ a regex:
let transliteration = {"a": "α", "ai": "αι", "av": "αυ", "v": "β", "g": "γ", ...};
let result = string.replace(/ai|av|ng|a|v|g|.../g, chr => transliteration[chr]);
