What changes between English and Nepali?

English uses the Latin script; Nepali uses the Devanagari script. That script change is handled entirely by the browser and correct lang/dir attributes — no font hacks needed on modern systems. Sentence structure and length differ, which is why Transxlate translates whole rendered sentences in context and lets you adjust anything visually.

How should hreflang look for English and Nepali versions?

Each page declares alternates for both languages plus x-default, and every version must link back to all others (reciprocity). With Transxlate Pro this cluster is emitted automatically on every page.

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ne" href="https://example.com/ne/" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/" />

Frequently asked questions

How do I translate a English website to Nepali?

On WordPress: install Transxlate, set English as your default language, add Nepali as a target, and connect a Google or DeepL API key. Pages are served at /ne/ automatically, and any sentence can be refined in the visual editor.

Which engine is best for English to Nepali?

Use Google Cloud Translation: it covers both English and Nepali. DeepL's smaller catalog does not include this exact pair, so Transxlate routes it to Google automatically.

How much does English to Nepali website translation cost?

At wholesale API rates, a 50,000-word site costs roughly $6.00 to machine-translate into Nepali — once, because results are cached in your database. Professional human translation of the same site would run thousands of dollars.

Will the layout survive going from English to Nepali?

Yes — both languages are left-to-right, so no direction change is involved. Expect some text-length variation; the visual editor makes spot-fixing tight buttons trivial.
