What an academic project proposal contains (English original)
A typical academic project proposal covers the project title, abstract, introduction, problem statement, objectives, literature review, methodology, expected outcomes, timeline, and references. For students submitting in English-medium institutions, this document often includes technical terminology from fields like computer science, engineering, and artificial intelligence.
The proposal is usually written in a structured format with numbered sections, tables, and sometimes code snippets. When translating into Hindi for submission to Hindi-medium universities, government research grants, or review panels, every section must retain its logical flow and technical precision. Understanding the original structure helps ensure the translated version remains useful without losing meaning.

Why students and researchers translate project proposals into Hindi
Many Indian universities, especially those offering Hindi-medium programmes, require project proposals to be submitted in Hindi for approval by internal review boards or funding committees. Researchers applying for University Grants Commission or state government grants often need a Hindi version alongside the English original.
Similarly, students from institutions like SRM University working on an AI-powered health companion application may need to present their proposal to external evaluators who prefer Hindi. Translating ensures the proposal reaches all stakeholders, including non-English-speaking panellists, without losing technical depth.
When an AI translation works – and when you may need an official version
For most academic purposes such as internal reviews, draft submissions, or sharing with a supervisor, an AI translation is fast and sufficient. Lekhak’s self-serve tool delivers a Hindi DOCX in minutes, preserving headers, tables, and basic formatting. This gives you a working draft you can edit and refine.
If the translated proposal is intended for a formal grant application, regulatory filing, or legal submission, you may require a certified translation. Lekhak offers certified translation on-demand for such cases – arranged separately from the self-serve AI path. Notarisation, apostille, and embassy attestation remain separate government acts you handle through the relevant authority.
What Lekhak’s AI translation produces
When you upload an English project proposal, Lekhak’s AI pipeline runs OCR (if needed), translates the text, and outputs a DOCX file in minutes. The translated document retains:
- Headings and subheadings (H1, H2, H3 etc.)
- Tables and lists
- Inline formatting (bold, italic, underline)
- Hyperlinks and numbered references
Charts, diagrams, and code blocks are included in the DOCX as they were in the original file, but the text within images is not automatically translated. You may need to manually update such elements. The AI translation is draft-quality – always proofread for technical precision, especially with domain-specific terms like “Wellness Wizard” or “AI-powered health companion”.
When you need notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation
Academic project proposals rarely require these steps. If your proposal is part of a visa application, a research grant requiring legal authentication, or a submission to a foreign university that demands attested documents, then notarisation and attestation may be necessary. These are separate government procedures you arrange with the issuing authority or the Ministry of External Affairs for apostilles. Lekhak does not perform these acts – but we can provide the certified translation that may be one of the inputs for that chain.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI handle technical terms like “Machine Learning” and “AI model” accurately?
Yes, AI translation generally handles standard technical terms correctly, but you should review domain-specific jargon and neologisms like “Wellness Wizard” for contextual accuracy.
Does Lekhak preserve the formatting of my original DOCX file?
The translated DOCX retains most formatting – headings, tables, lists, and inline styles. Complex elements like embedded charts or code blocks may need manual adjustment.
How fast is the translation?
Lekhak delivers the translated DOCX within minutes after upload. No waiting for hours or days.
Is the AI translation certified for official submissions?
No – the instant AI output is a draft only. For official grants or legal filings, you can request certified translation on-demand through Lekhak.
Can I edit the translated DOCX after download?
Yes, the output is a standard DOCX file that you can open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice and edit freely.
Do I need a credit card to try the AI translation?
No. You get 250 free credits at signup, no credit card required. A 5-page proposal costs roughly 250 credits.
What happens to code snippets or pseudocode in the proposal?
Code is included in the output as-is. The AI translates comments within code if they are in sentence form, but variable names and syntax remain unchanged.
How many languages does Lekhak support for proposal translation?
Lekhak supports 70+ languages globally, including Hindi and 21 other Indian languages. You can also translate from Hindi to English.
Is the Hindi output in Devanagari script?
