How to use English to Hindi Translation
- The direction is set to English to Hindi. Choose Urdu or Arabic under To if you need those instead.
- Type or paste the English and press Translate. The first time, the translator downloads once (about 20 MB) and stays in your browser.
- The sentences are translated in order with a count and the time left; Stop keeps the sentences already done.
- Copy the Hindi, save it as .txt or share it. A sentence whose numbers changed is marked so you can check it.

About this tool
This English to Hindi translator downloads Mozilla's English–Hindi model from Firefox Translations to your browser once, then translates there. It is a "tiny" model, about 20 MB, which makes it the fastest of the directions on this site. We measured it on a public test set of news sentences, where it scored within two points of the public figure for Google Translate on the same test, and on a set of our own everyday sentences: text messages, school and office notices, job adverts, bank and bill lines, and form fields. In our set, 92 of 100 English sentences kept their meaning in Hindi. The misses were idioms ("missed your call") and the odd dropped word in a long sentence, so read the Hindi through before you send it.
Figures are protected before translation and put back as written: amounts in both international and Indian grouping (1,250,000 or 12,50,000), dates, times, links, email addresses and phone numbers. A sentence whose digits still changed is marked for you to check. Hindi to English is not offered yet, because that model did not pass our quality check. For legal, medical or official text, have the translation checked by a person who reads both languages.
Frequently asked questions
Is this English to Hindi translation free and private?
Yes. It is an online English to Hindi converter in the sense that it runs in your browser, but after a one-time download of about 20 MB the model works on your device, so nothing you type is uploaded, and there is no sign-up or word limit.
Can I use it for English to Hindi typing?
Type English, press Translate and copy the Hindi: that covers most English to Hindi typing needs. It translates meaning rather than spelling sounds, so a name typed in English stays as it is.
How accurate is the Hindi?
On a set of everyday English sentences we wrote and checked by hand, 92 in 100 kept their meaning in Hindi. On the public news test it scored within two points of the published figure for Google Translate. Idioms are the usual misses.
Can I translate Hindi to English here?
Not yet: Mozilla's Hindi to English model did not pass our quality check, so it is not offered. Arabic to English is.
Does it keep Indian number grouping?
Yes. 12,50,000 stays 12,50,000, and 1,250.50 stays 1,250.50; dates and phone numbers come through as written.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Chrome or Safari with no app. The model is small to download, but the translator needs about half a gigabyte of memory while it runs, so on a phone with little memory translate a very long text in parts.
Can it translate a Hindi photo or subtitle file?
Subtitles yes: choose Subtitle file to turn an English .srt into Hindi with its timings untouched. Photos: the camera card reads printed English and translates it into Hindi; it does not read Hindi text.
