Typing in Hindi just got easier on android devices , with Google releasing it's Hindi transliteration keyboard "Google Hindi Input " , It allows you to type messages, update on social networks or compose emails in Hindi on your Android phone !
Will it work on your phone ?
If you can read नमस्ते correctly on your phone, then you can use Google Hindi Input, otherwise your phone may not support Hindi.- Toggle the button “a->अ” on English keyboard to turn on/off transliteration mode.
Hindi transliteration
- In the transliteration mode, you can type Hindi word in English characters and the app will convert them to Hindi.
- For example, type “hindi” and then you will get the word हिंदी from a list.
English
- By turning off the transliteration mode on English keyboard, you can type in English.
Hindi keyboard
- Toggle the globe button to switch between English and Hindi keyboard
- Consonants are alphabetically ordered into 2 pages. Press the paging button “1/2” “2/2” to navigate between pages. Long press the character key to select various forms in the popup.

Hello Prashant. I will try your recommendation as well. But could you tell me, if this will allow my to support the entire OS in terms of viewing webpages, apps that is written in Hindi?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
If your device can display Hindi only then this app will work otherwise it will not work , so no it will not add Hindi support but most android devices have support for Hindi , just try it out and see , thanks for the comment hope this helps
