Tips for English to Nepali translation
Nepali uses the Devanagari script, the same writing system as Hindi. However, Nepali is a separate language with distinct vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. A Hindi translator will not produce accurate Nepali and vice versa.
Nepali verb forms encode extensive information about tense, person, number, gender, and politeness level. The language has three levels of formality: tapai (formal), timi (informal), ta (intimate/rude).
Nepali is an SOV language with postpositions, similar to Hindi. Word order is flexible because case markers indicate grammatical roles. The translator rearranges to English SVO automatically.
Nepali has borrowed from Sanskrit, Hindi, Tibetan, and English. Mountain-related vocabulary reflects Nepal's Himalayan geography, and many terms for altitude, weather, and terrain have no direct English equivalents.
About the Nepali language
Nepali is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 16 million native speakers in Nepal and about 8 million in India (particularly in Sikkim, West Bengal, and the northeastern states). It is the official language of Nepal and one of the 22 scheduled languages of India.
Nepal is home to eight of the world's fourteen highest peaks, including Mount Everest. Nepali is the working language of the trekking and mountaineering industries that draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. The country transitioned from a monarchy to a federal democratic republic in 2008, and Nepali remains the primary language of government, education, and media.
The calendar inside Nepali documents
Nepal runs on the Bikram Sambat calendar, about 57 years ahead of the Western one. A Nepali certificate dated 2082 is not a typo; it is a current date. The translator converts words, not calendars, so year numbers pass through exactly as written. When you send a translated document to Nepal, or receive one from there, state both calendars next to any date that matters and nobody has to do the arithmetic wrong.
Verbs that carry gender
Nepali verbs change with the subject's gender. “He went” is u gayo, “she went” is u gai; the verb ending does the work the pronoun does in English. Your English sentence often gives the engine no clue: “Alex arrived yesterday” forces a pick. When the person's gender matters, put it in the English source, “Ms. Alex” or “she arrived,” and the Nepali verb lands on the right form instead of a guess.
