Topic: Project Translations in Hindi are a waste of money! - page 2. (Read 618 times)

I too believe that legendster is right. Most crypto users in India are those that use technologies like mobiles or computers which are predominantly in English only. I too am comfortable in reading such threads in English itself because in hindi technical terms like "स्मार्ट अनुबंध" for "Smart Contract", "टेलीग्राम समूह" for "Telegram Group" , "सामग्री निर्माण" for "Content Creation" ,etc...

I think as most information we get online is in English, especially for crypto, so when I encounter Hindi threads I have to translate most of those big hindi words in my mind to understand them.

And also, WTF this means ??

I don't think anyone even uses such words in common speaking, we mostly use Hi-nglish (Hindi+English)

You do realize that less than 430 million people here speak Hindi as their mother tongue, right? Most of them and the rest the country can't even read the language. So, what's the use of writing in Hindi?

And if you are feeling that generous, why don't you go ahead and write the guide down in the 1600 odd languages we have here... including the ones that the Siddi people speak.

Here's the reality. It's a WASTE of money!
I see that many international exchanges, ICO's, altcoins, tokens etc etc are interested in getting their whitepaper translated to Hindi. The general thought and consensus behind it is, that billions of people in India would be reading about their project. But that is quite not true.

There are over 1600 languages in India. Although Hindi is somewhat understood phonetically in most parts of the country, it is spoken by a much lesser number of people in this country AND it is read by an even smaller group of people. But the statistical fact remains Hindi is not read or understood by a majority of Indians This is even true for people who are born in a predominantly Hindi speaking families.

In my opinion, those that are interested in getting their projects translated to Hindi and aren't going to publish it on a leading Hindi newspaper like Dainikbhaskar, then their translations are pretty useless. Just go to the altcoin section in Indian subforum and see the number of views it gets.

Those that can read Hindi, mostly, cannot type it in the computer (or typewriter - yes that's still a thing here). Those that can read and write in Hindi are probably not on this forum and even if they were visiting by an odd chance, they'd most certainly not be investing in anything related to Bitcoin or Cryptocurrencies. Because thanks to the local government & some idiotic politicians, cryptos are tagged as Ponzi Schemes. Those that can invest in cryptos and are Indians, most likely prefer to read English. It is after all one of the main official languages in India.

Sure, if you want the vanity of having your project / website / whitepaper translated into Hindi and show it off, then, by all means, do so. At the least, it is a good source of income for the translators. (Makes me wonder why I never took Hindi typing classes).

The main aim of Bounty hunter is gain stakes for the work he has been assigned to.So translation is also one type of Bounty work where individuals can get more stakes.Translation is only done for the better understanding of Websites,Whitepaper etc.I hope most of the Indians understand Hindi very well

I disagree. With you. But I agree with legendster here. India is a hodgepodge place and even if someone understands Hindi, they can't read it. If India has 1 billion people then at least 50 percent people do not speak hindi or do not read it and in most cases do not understand it.

No, In my opinion majority of people understand Hindi. If you see the most popular news channels in India, all use Hindi only.
