Hindi in numbers
Hindi has about 345 million first-language and 264 million second-language speakers — around 610 million in total — and is written in Devanagari. Hindi and Urdu are two registers of the same language, Hindustani.
What changes in translation
Hindi marks formality in 'you' (tū, tum, āp) and gender in verbs; English flattens both, so tone has to carry the respect. Hinglish — switching between Hindi and English mid-sentence — is common in everyday speech and social video.
Other ways to do it
Google Translate's live translate speaks translations aloud in a conversation and lists Hindi; YouTube's automatic dubbing can dub eligible Hindi videos into English. A dubbing tool gives you the translated file, in the speaker's voice, for any platform.
