Upload a Hindi EPUB and get the first fifteen pages back in Urdu. These two are the same spoken language written in two different scripts — which makes this the strangest pair in the catalogue and the one with the clearest rules.
The first 15 pages of text are sent to our server to be translated. The file itself stays on your device.
A sentence of ordinary conversation is identical in Hindi and Urdu. Same words, same grammar, same idiom — only the script differs, and the direction it runs in. For that layer the job is transliteration: Devanagari to the Perso-Arabic script, left-to-right to right-to-left, with the text itself unchanged.
The formal layer is where they part company. Hindi reaches into Sanskrit for its abstract and literary vocabulary; Urdu reaches into Persian and Arabic. The same idea has two entirely unrelated words, and choosing between them is what makes a text read as Hindi or as Urdu. A conversion that only changes the script produces Hindi in Urdu letters, which any reader spots immediately.
So this is a register shift with a script change underneath it, and reading the whole book first is what tells the model which register the book actually lives in.
A DRM-free EPUB. The file stays on your device; only the text of the sample is sent.
The register is established first — how far into Sanskrit vocabulary the Hindi reaches decides how much has to change.
About 4,500 words: script converted, and the Sanskrit-derived vocabulary replaced with its Persianate counterparts.
A complete EPUB with dir="rtl" written onto the translated text, so it aligns and punctuates correctly.
Nastaliq depends on your device. Urdu is traditionally typeset in Nastaliq and most e-readers substitute a Naskh face — correct and legible, but not the way a printed Urdu book looks.
The register shift is a judgement. How far to go towards Persianate vocabulary depends on the book, and the tool makes one consistent choice rather than the only possible one.
Fifteen pages, not the book — about 4,500 words — and the text is sent to a server and discarded when the job ends.
Both, and that is what makes the pair unusual. The everyday layer is transliterated because the languages are identical there; the formal and literary vocabulary is genuinely translated, because Hindi and Urdu draw it from completely different sources.
The script and its direction, and the Sanskrit-derived vocabulary. Grammar, idiom and sentence structure mostly do not change at all — which is why a purely mechanical script conversion gets so close and still reads wrong.
That depends on your reader. Most e-readers do not carry a Nastaliq font and will set the text in Naskh instead; the text is correct either way.
About 4,500 words, roughly fifteen pages, five books a day per person.
