Bilingual and Hinglish search

India is a multilingual country with more than 21 languages ​​so someone can understand only different languages.

The feature will roll out for Hindi users first and will have other Indian languages ​​like Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Bengali next year.

For someone who cannot speak Hindi or English together, the company has introduced a feature called Hinglish search, which basically means that you can make any query to Google with a mix of Hindi and English. The app will recognize the speech and show you the results.

For those who can’t speak properly, Google has announced Project Relate for them. It can understand speech even if the user cannot speak properly. It will be available for Hindi users from next year.
