Sheels Hindi to English Dictionary is a simple little program that makes it easy for you to translate words and phrases between those two languages.

Hindi is an extremely complicated and complex language that uses individual characters to represent specific letters and sounds. When using online and web translators, you risk getting definitions that do not make sense or those that won't fit in the syntax of the sentence. This also makes it difficult to figure out how the words in a sentence go together. This free dictionary makes it easier to find the exact definitions that you need.

This app has a very basic interface that looks like something someone just designed in class, but that design makes this app easy for adults and kids to use. It has a simple search box near the top of the screen, which is where you enter the word you want to define. Off to the side is a virtual keyboard that features Hindi letters. When you have a word that you want to look up, you can use your mouse to click on each character to spell out that word. This keyboard also has buttons for deleting letters or deleting an entire word to look up a new one.

A nice feature on this app is that it actually predicts the words that you want to define. As soon as you enter one character, it brings up a list of words that start with that character in a box below the search box. When you see the right word, you can click on it and load that word to get the definition. The more characters you add, the more you will narrow down your search, which helps you find the exact word.

This Hindi to English Dictionary has a small box off to the side that shows you the type of word is it such as a noun or a verb. It then gives you a basic definition that helps you see what English word corresponds to that Hindi word. You can close down the program with a quick click on the close button on the top right corner of the screen, but you can also select the exit option from the toolbar at the top of the screen to shut it down. Though Sheels Hindi to English Dictionary may not have all words listed, it is an effective translation tool for finding English definitions for Hindi words.
