If you want to translate some text, a Web page, or issue a query in Hindi as well as have results translated from English, you can do it here. Of the total literate Indian population, only about 13 percent are English literate. This launch would ensure that Hindi speaking users can also enjoy the benefits of the Internet, regardless of their familiarity with the English language.
Google Translator supporting Hindi language is the latest in a series of updates focused at multi-lingual users in the country. Some of the multilingual features offered by Google include Data entry, blogs, and search.
Users can type in Hindi using a regular keyboard -- type the word as it sounds. For example, type "mera" using regular English characters, hit the space bar, and Google converts it to the corresponding Hindi word. This feature is also available to Orkut users for sending scraps not just in Hindi but also in other Indian languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
