Hindi Document Translation in Toronto

Devanagari joins consonants into conjuncts and hangs vowel marks above and below the line, so a character count does not predict the width of a word.

Reading the pair

What changes first on Hindi pages

Hindi requests are read for conjunct width and name spelling before scope.

Devanagari writes consonant clusters as conjuncts and places vowel marks (matra) above, below or beside the consonant. Hindi has no upper and lower case.

The same Hindi name can be written with several Latin spellings because श and ष both commonly become sh. Hindi marks gender and number on verbs and adjectives, and the form depends on the subject.

Scope control

What the scope fixes for Hindi sets

The scope names the line-break rule, the name spelling and the capitalisation policy.

A line break inside a conjunct splits one written unit, so breaks are placed at word boundaries and the width is measured from the shaped text. An English target has to restore capitals for names and sentence openings that Hindi does not mark, so the restored capitals are checked against the source meaning.

01
Page list
Every page that carries Hindi text is counted before the quote is prepared.
02
Direction on the page
The page is read in the order the Hindi original sets, not in the order an English draft would.

The scope names the Hindi points above in writing; no page is added silently.

Document set

Where the Hindi difference lands on the page

Choosing a spelling freely breaks the link to a page that uses another, so the spelling printed on the document is kept.

An English target loses that agreement, so the subject is identified before the verb is written rather than guessed from word order.

Checks on the page

The checks a reviewer can make on Hindi pages

Each page is proofed for split conjuncts after typesetting. Capitalisation is reviewed separately from translation.

FAQ

Questions before the first Hindi request

Short answers to questions about Hindi document translation before the first Hindi set is read.

Will conjuncts be split across lines?

No. Line breaks are placed at word boundaries, and every page is proofed for split conjuncts. The same answer applies to Hindi document translation.

How do you spell my name in Latin letters?

The spelling printed on your document is kept, and other variants found in the set are listed.

Why does the English version add capital letters?

Hindi has no case, so capitals are restored for names and sentence openings and then reviewed.

Which pages are named in the scope for Hindi?

Only the pages named in the scope for Hindi; a page added after the scope is fixed is quoted as new work.

Nothing is translated before the scope is accepted, so the language direction and the page list stay tied to the same Hindi document.
