Now it’s easier to switch between English and Hindi with the launch of a new tab on Google Search for mobile. Available in States with significant Hindi-speaking populations, this new feature gives you a way to flip between English and Hindi when using the Google Search app and Google Search on most browsers on your Android or iOS mobile phone.
It is a pretty neat idea for a country that speaks two languages very well.

We hope that you enjoy using this feature and it helps you find the best the results.
