Localize App Store Screenshots to Hindi
हिन्दी
India = ~600M Hindi speakers, largest Google Play market by downloads.
Why Hindi matters
India is download volume — extremely high, ARPU is low but growing. Hindi is the largest native language in India. Devanagari script has tall glyphs with diacritics above and below the baseline — give it more vertical line height than Latin.

Localization tips for Hindi
- 1 Devanagari has tall glyphs — increase line-height by 20% vs Latin defaults or text collides.
- 2 Many Indian users prefer "Hinglish" (mixed Hindi-English). A fully-Hindi listing can feel formal or stiff. Consider a mix.
- 3 Use Noto Sans Devanagari. System fonts vary wildly across Android devices in India.
- 4 The Hindi word for "app" is usually just "ऐप" — transliterated English.
Fonts for Hindi
Noto Sans Devanagari, Mukta, Hind.
Most common mistake
Using a font without Devanagari support — text renders as boxes on user devices. Always explicitly specify a Devanagari-capable font.
