Project Translations in Hindi are a waste of money!

[legendster]

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).

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

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.

I remember you!!! Machher Jhol guy!! Btw yeah, I do not think that most Hindi readers would get what I am trying to say here because for them the world begins and ends with Hindi in India. The entire Eastern section starting from Bengal and all the way to Nagaland, no one reads Hindi. Same with southern states. And even a majority of the people in Kashmir don't read Hindi.

From an investment standpoint, let's exclude Eastern states (excluding bengal and assam) and the Kashmir region, but the majority of the investments in cryptos comes from South India. And they have a very specific hatred against Hindi lol

Geeta said do your work never expect for a result .

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.

Btw, if Geeta wasn't sexy, idc what she said.

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)

That's the point. These days every shitcoin project owner comes up with the brilliant idea of having a "Hindi-ian" translated whitepaper as if it makes any difference.
I'll repeat, those that read only hindi, don't care about Crypto, those that do care about Crypto, can read English.
After all we are the LARGEST speaker base of English on this planet.

[cryptoQueez]

if you look at the other regions in BTT, they speak in their own language, however, in the indian section everyone speaks english. So i think he has a point. Plus that why I am here, I am not from India

[coinfunda]

Legendster is saying the truth. There is no meaning of Hindi translation. Anyone who invested in crypto will surely be able to understand english.

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

Novelty acts don't justify an investment. Those bloggers can read and write English just fine. They are pushing their content in Hindi to appeal to a larger crowd for vanity reasons, not because their audience's inability to read English.

I hope you are smart enough to understand the implied message here.

[virendarnagpal]

I do not agree that most of the people do not understand Hindi in India.  In opposite to it most of the people now can speak read and write Hindi.  Previously there were people living in non Hindi belts who were not learning Hindi because they did not find it beneficial to them.  But now the world is becoming small village.  So India is not very small.  People are doing business across the states.  For the development of their business they need to know Hindi.  They are learning because they benefit economically by trading far states. 

Second issue raised by you is Hindi typing.  There are language converters available in internet in google.  We type in english alphabets and can convert those alphabets to not only Hindi but to other regional languages too.

No Hindi is becoming more acceptable financially beneficial language.

Very true translating in Hindi gives rise to another problem that is scammers.
People generally do not use shudh hindi so translating them will not be fruitful as expected.
As earlier stated by fellow member basically in Southern India people are reluctant to converse/interact in National language .
And as Indians maximum people had to deal with minimum 2-3 languages throughout his whole life.
An updated person will simply not rely on a single language .
His/her urge will definitely give him/her the crave to learn other languages including English.
So if a person is only focused on Hindi the chance of getting scammed rises because without interaction with outer world staying is crypto business is not a good idea.

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

It doesn't matter if you agree or not. My opinion is not based on your agreement, it is based on facts.

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.

I also think so ,from our school life we are more focused on English rather than learning Hindi,and in India for any Technical field we focused on English as primary language to deal with.but as many ico demand Hindi translation so many bounty Hunter do it but I don't see any point just like you mentioned ,they are just doing for the sake of bounty and no major discussion is seen in translated thread.

Are you claiming that Hindi is the national language, it is the biggest misconception for majority of the people, India does have 22 official languages and there is no national language. English is used in every state and you can adopt your regional language for legal proceedings.

And as Indians maximum people had to deal with minimum 2-3 languages throughout his whole life.
An updated person will simply not rely on a single language .
His/her urge will definitely give him/her the crave to learn other languages including English.

Majority of the crowd knows more than two languages in India and i am not sure anywhere in the world we could see a population well versed in three or more languages and the understanding of the languages depends upon where they are settled and so on as every state has their own language which is rare in other parts of the world.  

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.

People from Tamil Nadu does speak Hindi and Urdu depending on their religion, but majority of them does not speak Hindi simply because there is no use of the Hindi language during his entire life if he is staying in Tamil Nadu or abroad India, if a non Hindi speaker is living in a Hindi dominant place he will definitely learn the language in a few years time.
