Tips for Hindi ↔ English meetings
- Hinglish is normal. Most Hindi speakers mix in English words (“meeting ko reschedule kar dete hain”). SottMeet follows mixed speech; English technical terms usually come through as they are.
- Convert lakh and crore. 5 lakh = 500,000 and 2 crore = 20 million. An English-speaking client may not know these units, so give big figures in millions too, or type them in the chat.
- Respectful address. “Sharma ji” or “sir” may come out as Mr. Sharma or simply the name. If titles matter, say the full name and title once at the start.
- Other Indian languages. SottMeet speaks Hindi, and it understands Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Urdu when others talk. You hear them translated; your replies go out in one of the 19 spoken languages.
Example: what each side hears
An IT vendor team in India updates a client in the UK. An illustrative exchange. Each bubble shows what was said and, below it, what the other side hears and reads.
