English to Hindi dictionary



There are many websites and mobile applications that provide the feature of translating words from English to Hindi and vice versa. The meaning of an English word is now at the click of your mouse and is now no more a daunting task. You don’t have to carry with yourself huge dictionaries as there is ample number of resources available online that translates English to Hindi and vice versa. 

But we have to be always careful during translation especially when it is done on websites or mobile applications. The first point to keep in mind is to avoid translating entire sentences. Always use the website or application to know the meaning of a word or may be an idiom but to never type in complete sentences.  

This is because whenever a sentence is translated into other language there is a great possibility for the original meaning of the sentence to be lost. As the translation is done by online applications or websites and not by humans the possibility of mistakes is higher. In the translation, sometimes the tenses get changed, the order of words in sentences change and with this the meaning of the sentence is lost or the sentence is simply grammatically wrong.

Therefore, it is best to check with a speaker who knows to use Hindi to English Dictionary. S/he would ensure that the sentence is grammatically correct, the correct word is used and the tenses are in place. 

Therefore, it is best to avoid sentences and only use online resources of English to Hindi translation as dictionaries to look the meaning of the word.
