How to use LinkedIn in Hindi
To use the Hindi version of LinkedIn on an Android or iOS device, users need to select Hindi as their preferred device language under the phone settings. If you have selected Hindi as your preferred language, the experience will automatically be provided in Hindi. On the desktop, you can select Hindi by clicking the “Me” icon in the upper right corner of the LinkedIn homepage, and then going to “Settings and Privacy“> “Account Preferences“> “Site Preferences“> “Language“.
It’s important to note that although the user interface and platform experience (including the navigation bar) will be displayed in Hindi, users will continue to use user-generated content, such as posts published on their homepage in the language they were originally created in. However, once you choose Hindi as your preferred language, you will get the “View Translation” option from which you can get the Hindi translation of the corresponding post.
