Translate English to Hindi in simple, everyday language
Your shop, clinic or housing society sends notices in English, but many readers are more at home in Hindi. Literal translations come out in heavy, bookish Hindi nobody speaks. Your todo.is agent writes clear everyday Hindi in Devanagari, or Hinglish if that suits your audience, ready for print or WhatsApp.
The prompt
- Translate this [PASTE THE TEXT OR ATTACH THE FILE] from English into Hindi for [WHO WILL READ IT]. Use [SIMPLE EVERYDAY HINDI, FORMAL HINDI OR HINGLISH IN ROMAN LETTERS]. Address readers as aap. Keep common English words people really use in Hindi (mobile, online, bill, lift) instead of rare Sanskrit words. Keep dates, times, rupee amounts and phone numbers exactly. Make it suitable for [WHERE IT WILL BE USED, E.G. A WHATSAPP MESSAGE OR A PRINTED NOTICE]. Give me the Hindi text, a line-by-line English check and a Word file with a Devanagari font.
What to change
- [PASTE THE TEXT OR ATTACH THE FILE]: A notice, message, product leaflet, Word file or PDF.
- [WHO WILL READ IT]: E.g. "residents of our housing society", "customers of our pharmacy" or "parents at our school".
- [SIMPLE EVERYDAY HINDI, FORMAL HINDI OR HINGLISH IN ROMAN LETTERS]: Everyday Hindi for most people, formal Hindi for official notices, Hinglish for WhatsApp and young readers.
- [WHERE IT WILL BE USED, E.G. A WHATSAPP MESSAGE OR A PRINTED NOTICE]: Also fine: "a poster", "an SMS", "a product box".

- Choices
- • सप्लाई, मेंटेनेंस, ऑनलाइन, ऑफ़िस are English words written in Devanagari, the way people say them. A pure Hindi word like जलापूर्ति (water supply) is correct but sounds official.
- • कृपया (please) and the endings करें / रख लें are polite aap forms.
- • टंकी is the everyday word for a water tank.
- • Dates and numbers stay in regular digits, which most readers prefer.
How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and choose everyday Hindi, formal Hindi or Hinglish.
- Paste the English or attach the file in todo.is, or send it to your agent on WhatsApp.
- Print the Word file, or copy the WhatsApp version into your group yourself.
- Ask for the same message in Marathi, Bengali or Tamil if some readers need it.
Tips for a better result
- Match the Hindi to your readers. Government-style Hindi leans on Sanskrit words; customers and neighbours respond better to the Hindi they speak at home.
- Hinglish in Roman letters often works best on WhatsApp, because many people type Hindi that way. Use Devanagari for print and signs.
- Write large rupee amounts with Indian grouping (₹1,25,000) so nobody misreads lakhs and thousands.
- For legal notices, court papers or government forms, use a qualified translator. This is a solid first draft for everyday notices.
translate English to Hindi: FAQ
- Should I use pure Hindi or Hinglish? For formal documents and government use, standard Hindi is expected. For marketing, WhatsApp messages and young audiences, Hinglish or everyday Hindi with common English words reads more naturally.
- Can I get Hindi in Roman letters? Yes. Ask for Hinglish or "Hindi in Roman script" and your agent writes it the way people type on their phones, for example "aap kaise hain".
- Will the Hindi font work in Word? Yes. The Word file uses a Devanagari font such as Noto Sans Devanagari or Mangal, which displays correctly on most computers and phones.
- Can my agent read Hindi documents too? Yes. Attach a Hindi PDF, photo or voice note and your agent can translate it into English.
