Translate Time to Leave to Hindi (Indian Language)

[susheelg1197]

With reference to issue #475 , I would be translating Time-To-Leave in Hindi (HI) which is an Indian language.
Please assign me this task

Hi @susheelg1197, in the future, we might add more strings that need a translation too. Would you be interested in be the point of contact for these upcoming contributions? The idea is to make you an ambassador of the Hindi support in the app, and, when we have new translations, we'll mention you to see if you can work on those. This doesn't mean you'll have to translate those of course, only if you are available/interested. Also, you can leave at any time :)

Hi @thamara,
@susheelg1107 has done a wonderful job adding the translations!
However, some translations need to be corrected. For example, these are the ones that I can see right off the top (will check for more):
Current:

"mon": "मेरे" (translates to "my/mine" in English)
"sat": "बैठ गया" (translates to "sat" as in "sat down" in English, which is semantically correct but wrong in the current context)

These should be:

"mon": "सोम" (translates to "mon" as in "monday", just in Hindi instead)
"sat": "शनि" (translates to "sat" as in "saturday", just in Hindi instead)

Also, I see some instances where we are not truly translating the words but rather, just writing the English word in Hindi letters to have the same, English word sound.
Examples that I can see right off the top (will check for more):

"current-day": "करंट डे पर जाएं" ("करंट डे" is "current day" WRITTEN in Hindi letters, not TRANSLATED)

which could be rephrased to:

"current-day": "वर्तमान दिन पर जाएं"

Would it be better if we use the native language words?

Hey @BhumikaSaini! Thank you for reporting this.
Yes, it sure would be better to use the native language words.
Would you be interested in reviewing the translation and submitting a PR with the changes you already mentioned as well as other possible improvements you see fit?

Sure, will do. Thanks @thamara!
