Translate Hindi Blog or Website to English

Hindi is the National Language of India, spoken by approximately half a billion people. Hindustani (a form of Hindi) is one of the three official languages of Fiji (English & Fijian are other two).

Few weeks back I had written two articles on free online automatic translation How to auto-install Google  Translate Widget to blogger. I also introduced Microsoft Bing Translator, one more widget from Microsoft  that does the same. But these articles were primarily meant for English language blogs/websites i.e. English to other language translation.

Today, while surfing the web I found many fabulously well-written blogs in Hindi. I was wondering how wonderful will it be to have those blogs/websites translated to English or other major language of the world! The same ready to use free tool from Google can be used with a little change in parameter to translate any Hindi language blog or website to following 7 major languages of the world:

  1. English
  2. Arabic
  3. Chinese (Simplified)
  4. Chinese (Traditional)
  5. French
  6. German
  7. Spanish

Why you need Hindi to English & other language translation?

Willy Brandt, a former German chancellor, once said: "If I'm selling to you, I speak your language. If I'm buying, dann muessen Sie Deutsch sprechen [then you must speak German]."

Look & Feel of the Translator

Dropdown-Hindi-English-translate

It’s a simple drop-down box, powered by Google. It looks and function similar to the Google Translate drop-down box widget used at the top right side bar of this blog. With a little customization, it can be used to translate an Hindi blog to 50 other global languages. For any help, you can contact me or can visit the Google Translate URL provided in reference at the end.

  7. This is really helpful a few years back. As of now, however, you no longer need to tweak a code to translate a website. Google translate provides an easy solution to this problem.

  8. I agree with Melbourne. It doesn't take much to head-scratching nowadays with Translate, but still, some of the phrases get lost in translation (literally).

  9. Hindi is a huge language and I could see a use for it. Although, some nuances will get lost in the translation.
