Translate English text or a text, subtitle or CSV file into Hindi, on your own device.

How do I translate English to Hindi without uploading the text?

Paste the English into filetity's English to Hindi converter and press Translate. The translation is done by the translator built into Chrome 138 and newer, running on your own device, so the text is never sent to a server; the only network event is Chrome fetching its Hindi language pack from Google once, and your text is not part of it. A .txt, .md, .srt, .vtt or .csv file works the same way and comes back in the same format with the English replaced by Hindi. In a 20 sentence test read by a Hindi speaker, 16 came back clean and 2 changed meaning, so read the result before you rely on it.

When you would use this

Situations, not settings.

An English notice that has to go out in Hindi as well
Paste the English, take the Hindi, and give it to somebody who reads Hindi to check before it is printed: in a 20 sentence test, 2 changed meaning.
English subtitles for a video your family watches in Hindi
Drop the .srt and get a Hindi one back with the same timings. The saved file is the same name with -hi before the extension, ready for the same player.
A README or set of notes a Hindi-reading colleague needs
Drop the .md. Code blocks, inline code and links stay exactly as written and the prose around them comes back in Devanagari, still valid markdown.

How it works / no cloud

A conversion engine, not an upload form.

filetity hands the text to the translator built into Chrome, which runs a translation model on your device rather than on a server. Plain text goes a paragraph at a time, because a model given half a phrase answers about half a phrase: a wrapped line that read "Most / of the staff work from home" came back as "Over-employees work from home" until the paragraph was joined. A subtitle goes a cue at a time, for the same reason, which means a two row cue comes back as one row and the player wraps it. Italics and colour inside a cue are kept when the translation brings them back intact and dropped when it does not, because a broken tag is worse than none. A CSV goes a cell at a time, where the pieces really are separate. The first time English to Hindi is used, Chrome downloads that language pack from Google, once, and keeps it; the page shows the download and says so, because it is the one moment anything crosses the network. Your text never does: measured with the browser's own network log, translation makes zero requests. The limit is the model, not the plumbing. In a 20 sentence English to Hindi test read by a person, 16 were clean and 2 changed meaning: "with the wifi off" lost the "off", and "out of milk" came out as milk that had run out of something. Read the result before you rely on it.

Straight answers

No accordion. Nothing hidden.

Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
Does it need an account?
No. There is no account system.
Is my file processed on my device?
Yes. Chrome's built-in translator runs on this device and the page makes no request of its own. The one download is Chrome fetching its language pack from Google, once per language, and your text is not part of it.
What formats are supported?
English text, typed or pasted, or a .txt, .md, .srt, .vtt or .csv file in. Hindi out, in Devanagari, in the same format.
What are the limits?
Chrome 138 or newer only; Firefox and Safari have no on-device translator and are refused with a message. Quality is good enough to understand a document and not to publish one unchecked: 16 of 20 test sentences were clean, 2 changed meaning. Plain text is translated a paragraph at a time, so a hard wrapped paragraph comes back as one line rather than in its original wrap.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once Chrome has the language pack. The first use of a pair downloads it; after that the page translates with no network connection.
How accurate is the English to Hindi translation?
Measured on 20 English sentences read by a Hindi speaker: 16 came back clean, 2 changed the meaning, 1 was ambiguous and 1 had a grammar slip. The two that changed meaning are worth knowing: "with the wifi off" lost the "off", and "out of milk" was translated as milk that had run out of something. Read the output before you rely on it.
Why did a word come back with two possible meanings?
Hindi has words that cover two English ones. In the test, "पता" came back where the English said "know", and पता is also "address". The translator picks one reading per sentence with no way to ask you which, so a sentence that reads oddly is usually one of these rather than a typo.
Does it type in Devanagari?
The output is Hindi in Devanagari script, as text you can copy, paste and save. It is not transliteration: an English word is translated, not respelled in Hindi letters, so a name or a brand in the English usually comes out as a Hindi word for it rather than the name itself. Check names in the result.
Is English to Hindi the only direction?
This page is English into Hindi only, because its URL says so and asking again would be asking a question you already answered. Hindi into English has its own page, and /translate lets you pick any pair Chrome has a pack for.
