Google Translate comes with support for over 100 languages
Keep in mind the word limit that each service allows
Some services are simple, while others come with a lot of other offerings
With communication with people across borders becoming second nature to many on the internet in India, English-to-Hindi translation and Hindi-to-English translation tools are more important than ever. Irrespective of what service you use, their accuracy and ease of use matter. It can be tough to weed out the worst of the lot when picking a translation service. But you do not need to worry, as that is exactly what we have done in this article. We have sorted the best apps and websites that you can use to translate English to Hindi.
1. Google Translate
If there was one service that any person looking to translate their text from one language to another would go to with a blind eye, is Google Translate. It has support for a variety of inputs and over 100 languages. One of the standout features of Google Translate is that if you are unsure about the exact language that you are putting in for translation, Google will detect the language on its own.
It is a completely free English-to-Hindi translation app, and if you log into your account, you can use the history feature, which stores all your previous actions. It also lets users enter web addresses for translation, redirecting them to the website, translated to their specified language.
2. Translate
One of the best English-to-Hindi translation websites is Translate. It is a service that offers a great English-to-Hindi translation service. The biggest edge that it has over any other names listed here is that there is an option that gets your text translated by actual humans. Yes, you read it right. If you select the ‘Professional Translation’ option on the page, the website claims that there will be an actual human expert of the selected languages working on your text.
Unlike Google, though, this is a paid service. If you are willing to do anything apart from basic two-language translation or want to translate anything other than the homepage of a website, you will have to shell out some money. With each subscription tier, services offered get better and include things like a choice for a preferred translator.
3. Translate Hindi to English
As basic as the name may sound, Translate Hindi to English is one of the best apps for English-to-Hindi translation. It brings a host of features to the table. Available as an application for both iOS and Android devices, this app helps users translate their text from one language to another and can be used as a learning tool.
A dictionary and a video translator are among the different features baked into the app. The dictionary is available both online and offline, further expanding the app's usability. The learning features also provide a chance for its users to pronounce words and play games for a more interactive learning experience. The app is free to download and allows easy Hindi-to-English translation and vice versa. But there are advertisements in the app, which can be removed by paying a fee of USD 2.99.
4. Microsoft Translator
Microsoft’s translation tool, called Microsoft Translator, is a mobile application available across prominent mobile platforms. The app has claimed support for over 70 languages. But there’s a catch here. Not all features are available for all 70 languages.
The app lets users download language packs for offline use. This feature could come in handy for frequent travellers, who otherwise would have had to look for an internet connection for translating basic exchanges. The app’s android version also allows for cross-app translation using context menus, and on the Apple side, there’s a Safari extension for webpage translation.
5. Typing Baba
Typing Baba is one service that packs a punch for being a fairly plain and simple web tool. Along with translation services, a host of other services are available on its website. But we will leave that for another day. Coming to its translation capabilities, the tool uses Google’s Translation API, which means the results that you yield would be the same as that of Google Translate.
In terms of language selection, this tool is fairly limited. It serves the basic purpose of being a simple translation tool, though. There are 13 language translation pre-sets which can be reversed on the translation page but cannot be further modified. The languages in the pre-set include Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Kannada, etc. It can be a good Hindi-to-English translator.
6. Hi Translate
Hi Translate is another powerful translation tool that provides English to Hindi translation. A free-to-download application, listed on both Android and iOS app stores, there is a subscription fee that users have to pay to unlock its full capabilities.
Like Google Translate, it has support for 100 languages, which includes English to Hindi translation. Other features of the application include camera and voice translation, which are also similar to that of Google. The Android version of the app is capable of performing cross-application translations too. To aid with face-to-face interactions, the app comes with a dialogue translation feature too, which is capable of translating live conversations between two individuals.
7. Easy Hindi Typing
The second app on this list that uses Google Translate’s API for its English-to-Hindi translation tool, Easy Hindi Typing, is a tool that, despite its limitations, is a good option to be used. Given its use of the said API, the results are fairly accurate, but there’s an upper limit of 500 characters.
The website of Easy Hindi Typing owns up to the flaws of an online translation service, recommending a professional service for a larger application like a book or article. But for relatively informal and common applications, this application and others on the list are perfect. Easy Hindi Typing’s English-to-Hindi translation tool is simple to use.
8. LingvaNex
If all you need to do is translate your text from English to Hindi and get off the website, LingvaNex is just right for you. With no bells and whistles and an easy to use interface, this web tool means business. Just that and nothing else.
There are applications of this available for every platform/service you could think of. While this may seem to be a feature that can be ignored, it can prove to be vital for maintaining consistency if you are a multi-tasker. Another multi-tasking capability that this adds is the dictionary that is baked right in.
9. Translate Now
A no-frills attached mobile translation application, Translate Now, comes equipped with just the right tools to make it a light and effective translation app. At just 43 MB, on the Apple App Store, this app does not take up much space on the device it's installed.
It does not require any special permissions to operate, so that’s another less thing to worry about. Just copy and paste the text into the app, choose the language that you want to translate it to, and you’re done. It’s simple and intuitive, making it a decent choice.
10. Dict Box
Dict Box is an offline translator that covers 30+ languages and 100+ dictionaries. So, even without the internet, you can translate from English to Hindi. Since it’s a dictionary, you can use it to find meanings for the translated word or phrase. Not just that, you can quickly find out how certain words are to be pronounced in English. It is available on Android only.
11. Dict.cc
Similarly named to the above translator app, Dict.cc is a freemium translation app that lets you translate English to Hindi and vice versa. There are options like English to Hindi for English Learners, English to Hindi with Synonyms, Hindi to English with Synonyms, English-Hindi Sentences, Hindi English Sentences, Shabdkosh English-Hindi Dictionary, etc. You can get similar functions for other languages too.
