How to make your business app in Hindi

If your staff, customers or parents read Hindi more easily than English, an app in Hindi is used more and gets fewer wrong entries. With AppCub you can ask for the app in English, Hindi or Hinglish, and ask for Hindi labels on the screens.

Hindi only, or Hindi with English

Hindi only suits apps used by staff or customers who read Hindi comfortably and rarely English, such as a kirana khata, a dairy collection app or a site attendance app.

Hindi with English, such as "जमा करें (Save)", suits mixed teams and customers, and keeps common words like "Bill", "Total" and "UPI" in English, because that is how people say them. If you want a button to switch the whole app between Hindi and English, ask for it in the chat and check that the plan shows it.

Use the words people use

"Udhaar" and "Jama" for a khata app, not formal words nobody says
"Fees", "Batch", "Test" for a coaching app, since that is what parents say
Short labels on buttons: "जोड़ें" (Add), "सेव करें" (Save), "भेजें" (Send)
Names of items and services as written on your board or bill
Keep numbers in digits people know: ₹2,500, not spelled out

Numbers, dates and names

Show amounts with ₹ and commas the Indian way: ₹1,25,000
Write dates clearly: 15 Nov 2026 or 15/11/2026; pick one and keep it
Decide whether names are typed in Hindi or English, and keep to it, so search finds them
Keep phone numbers in English digits so WhatsApp and call buttons work

Talking to AppCub in Hindi

You can describe your app to AppCub in Hindi or Hinglish, and ask for changes the same way: "Fees wale screen pe button ka naam Hindi mein likho: फीस जमा करें." AppCub shows the plan, and you can change any label by asking or by clicking it in the app next to the chat.

Note that this is for apps. AppCub websites are written in English, even when you talk to AppCub in Hindi.

Test it with real people

Give the phone to a staff member or customer and ask them to do one real task, such as adding a sale or checking a fee, without help. Where they stop or ask, change the word. Check that long Hindi labels fit on small phone screens and do not cut off.

With AppCub

Ask, for example: "Make a khata app for Gupta Kirana, Kanpur, with all labels in Hindi and English below. Customer list, udhaar and jama entries, total due, and a WhatsApp reminder in Hindi: नमस्ते, आपका ₹ ___ बकाया है।" Then try the app on your phone.
