Topic: Project Translations in Hindi are a waste of money! (Read 580 times)

Sorry for what? I know what Geeta means. It is a name. And also a collection of fictional writing which tools like you "worship" and call it your religion. Geeta, and all the religion in the world can kiss my ass. So can you if you expect me to be or say sorry.

Was not expecting this from you. Do you know what Geeta means? Or you just write here to write without any meaning? You have to say sorry for this or say that you don't know what Geeta means, here.

As you can see here localbitcoins volume is steadily growing in India.

So you shouldn't think about the present, but about the future.
More information in indian languages will enhance mass adoption in my opinion.
Cryptos are not made for rich and smart people, but for everybody, including unbanked people

No doubt Hindi translation do help projects reaching new audience. Around 70% Indians can read Hindi and approx. 40% of them use Hindi as their first language.

I agree many Indians use the mainstream English Whitepaper over the Hindi translated one but again its more of a formality to gain trust from more people and if a person is coming here with any plans of making any investments then he will definitely know what he is doing, But its still good for users who are more comfortable with Hindi imo.

It means, ...

And also, WTF this means ??

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.

As earlier stated by fellow member basically in Southern India people are reluctant to converse/interact in National language .

On point, about the shudh Hindi. However, people don't speak shudh hindi anymore either.
And its not about reluctance, have you ever tried to learn the southern languages? say for Tamil for instance? I have, unsuccessfully. The vernacularity, word structure, bending of the tongue everything is different, they simply unable to speak Hindi - let alone any northern languages.

Helo
I not agree with it those who really interested in the project they check each and everything.

...People generally do not use shudh hindi so translating them will not be fruitful as expected.

I am completely disagree with you, I can see on google there are thousands Hindi blogger join the Internet every month 

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.

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.
