About the Hindi Transliteration Tool

Type or paste Hinglish, such as "kal milte hain", and get it in Devanagari (कल मिलते हैं), or paste Hindi in Devanagari and get it in English letters: in a Hinglish style, a simple style for names and URLs, or IAST with accents. Words the tool is not sure of are marked, with other likely spellings to pick from, and your picks are remembered for next time. It also builds a URL slug in Devanagari, with its percent-encoded form, and one in English letters. It runs in your browser with our word lists and spelling rules: no AI, and your text is not uploaded.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose the direction, then type or paste your text, or press Try an example to see a Hinglish post for a sweet shop in Indore.

  2. 02

    Read the result. Tap each marked word and pick the right spelling, or type your own in "Your spellings". Brand names and acronyms go in the keep list.

  3. 03

    Copy the result or download it, use "Convert it back" to compare, and copy the URL slug you want.

How the conversion works

Each word is first looked up in our lists: several hundred common Hindi words in the spellings people type (kya, hai, mein, nahin), English words Hindi writers use (order, delivery), and places, festivals, months and days. Words in your keep list, words in capitals, links and numbers stay as they are. Every other word is built from spelling rules: aa, ee and oo are long vowels, a final i is long (nadi is नदी), two consonants together make a conjunct (pyaar is प्यार) except where Hindi writes an a it does not say (karna is करना), and n before a consonant becomes the dot ं (hindi is हिंदी). Going the other way, the tool drops the a that Hindi does not say, so कमरा becomes kamra.

Hindi, Hinglish and your pages

Google works out a page's language from its visible text, not from code such as the lang attribute or the URL. Its title link guidance asks for a title in the same language and writing system as the page, and its own example is a Hindi page whose title should be in Hindi, not transliterated into English letters. For URLs, Google suggests words in your audience's language, and transliterated words where that fits, with hyphens between words. So write a Hindi page and its title in Devanagari, and choose a Devanagari or an English-letter slug: the tool gives you both.

What this tool cannot do

It is rule-based, not a dictionary, and Hinglish leaves out what Devanagari shows: "kam" can be कम (less) or काम (work), t can be त or ट, d can be द, ड or ड़, and the rules cannot always tell whether Hindi writes an a it does not say. So names, rare words, English words and every marked word need a human check. It does not translate: "thank you" becomes थैंक यू, not धन्यवाद. IAST was made for Sanskrit and has no letters for some Hindi sounds, so the tool uses z, f, q and ṛ for them and says so.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool translate Hindi to English?

No. Transliteration changes the script, not the language: "aap kaise hain" becomes आप कैसे हैं, which is still Hindi, and आप कैसे हैं becomes "aap kaise hain". To change the meaning into English or Hindi you need a translator, or better, a person who knows both languages.

Why are some words marked?

A marked word was built from our spelling rules, has more than one spelling in our lists ("kam" can be कम or काम), or is also an English word ("the" can be थे in Hinglish). Tap it to see other likely spellings and pick the right one. Your pick is saved in this browser under "Your spellings" and used for that word from then on.

Should my page be in Devanagari or in Hinglish?

Write it the way your readers read and search. Google works out a page's language from its visible text, and asks for a title in the same writing system as the page: its example is a Hindi page, whose title should be in Hindi rather than in English letters. If you write in Devanagari, keep the title, headings and text in Devanagari too.

Should I use a Devanagari URL or one in English letters?

Either can work. Google suggests words in your audience's language in the URL, and transliterated words where that fits, with hyphens between words. Browsers show Devanagari letters in the address bar, but the link itself carries them percent-encoded (UTF-8), so a short Devanagari slug becomes a long string of %E0 codes when it is copied as text. The tool shows the slug both ways so you can choose.

What is IAST?

IAST, the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration, writes each Devanagari letter with one Latin letter, some with accents, and writes every a, so भारत is bhārata and कमरा is kamarā. It was made for Sanskrit, so it has no letters for ज़, फ़, क़, ख़, ग़, ड़ and ढ़, or for ऑ in English words; the tool writes z, f, q, k͟h, ġ, ṛ, ṛh and ô for them. Use it for study and references. For posts and messages, the Hinglish style is easier to read.
