Google via a blog post announced that the new maps supporting Hindi language will be available on the new Google Maps and on the latest Google Maps for app running on mobiles having android version 4.3 and above. In order to see maps in Hindi, a user will have to select Hindi as the preferred language. The computer users can either select Hindi by changing the language preference on the Google account settings or by selecting ‘Hindi’ option which is available at the bottom of google.co.in home page. The Android users will have to select the Hindi option present in the “Language and input†menu found in the phone’s settings menu. This linguistic feature is not yet available for iOS users.
After selecting Hindi as a preferred language, the users will be able to view the names of the cities, localities, major roads, and famous locations in Hindi. The labels which the users can see in Hindi are generated by transliterating English names to Hindi and also it is ensured that the script is as per local dialects.
If the users can come up with more accurate Hindi places names then they can send corrections by using #-Link-Snipped-# option which is present at the bottom right-hand side of Google Maps or by using #-Link-Snipped-# for better experience.
