How to Translate Substack From Hindi to German (Step-by-Step)

Hindi-language content on Substack is rich and worth reading. If German is your stronger reading language, the usual friction applies: copy the text into a translator and lose the layout, or read slower than you would like.

This guide shows a third option — translate the Hindi newsletter in place, directly into German, with bilingual translation. The Hindi stays visible and the German meaning appears right beside it, so you can read the meaning quickly and still check the original for any word, name, or phrase.

Demo note: the screenshots below are built in a real Substack layout to show exactly how BothLang displays a bilingual page — the Hindi paragraph on top and the translated German directly beneath, with a hand-drawn arrow pointing at the translation.The workflow is identical on any newsletter because BothLang works on whatever page you are viewing.

What you need

• BothLang installed in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox — see the download page.
• The extension pinned to your toolbar.
• A Hindi-language newsletter open in a tab.
