This conversion of one script to another (i.e. Roman script to Devanagari) is called transliteration. However, some people mistakenly call it English to Hindi translation. Translation happens when vocabulary is changed. In this Hindi typing tool, only alphabets are changed to a different script.
Hindi is written using Devanagari script. This script is also shared by several other languages including Sanskrit, Marathi and Maithili. Hindi typing on computer picked up pace when Unicode standard was defined for Hindi. Earlier, Hindi was written on computers using legacy, non-Unicode fonts like Krutidev, Shusha, Shiva and Chanakya. Scores of such fonts were in use between the year 2000 and 2006.
