## Capabilities

- Free: Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
- Account required: No. There is no account system.
- Processed on 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.
- Formats: Hindi text in Devanagari, typed or pasted, or a .txt, .md, .srt, .vtt or .csv file in. English out, in the same format.
- 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.
- Mobile: Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
- 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.

## Questions

### Does it read Hindi written in Roman letters?

No. It expects Devanagari, which is what Chrome's Hindi pack was built on. "kya haal hai" typed in English letters is Hinglish, and the translator will treat it as English it does not understand. Type or paste the Hindi in Hindi script.

### How good is Hindi to English compared with the other direction?

It has not been measured here. The 20 sentence test in this repo was English into Hindi, where 16 of 20 were clean. Hindi into English uses the same on-device model family, and the honest statement is that its error rate is unknown until somebody sits down with 20 sentences, so read the English before you send it.

### Can it translate a Hindi subtitle file?

Yes. Drop an .srt or .vtt and only the Hindi lines are translated; the timing lines and cue numbers are copied through exactly. The English file has the same name with -en before the extension, and it plays with the same timing as the original.

### Will my Hindi text be uploaded?

No. Chrome translates it on this device, and the page makes no network request of its own. The one download is Chrome fetching its Hindi to English pack from Google the first time this pair is used on your machine, and that download does not carry your text.
