  I find the dashboard contains Hindi, but could not find any way to type in Hindi.
  I also searched in Forums, but could not find any thread.
  Any help is welcome.
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I did set as you said. But no effect. I even tried clicking the “T” & “W” symbols in the editor, but the small window that opened again typed only English. I think there could be a toggle, but don’t know where. (Do you have any page for full instructions?)

  I’m so sorry that what I posted wasn’t helpful to you. I’m flagging this thread for Staff attention.

  There is a separate section “hi.wordpress.com”, may be they have specific solution.

  Hi,
  You have to switch your computer to the devanagari keyboard, or use a site like google transliterate. If you use transliterate you can copy and paste into WordPress. WordPress doesn’t do JavaScript keyboard transliteration like mediawiki and some other sites

  I want to ask something further. IndicIME plugin does work for WordPress. Can’t this be embedded for us from your side? It would give a huge boost to WordPress’s popularity. For every small editing moving out of WP, using big G’s transliteration facility is burden.

  Howdy, thanks for the suggestion. We’ll keep something like IndicIME in mind but right now we don’t have a way to add that for WordPress.com. Cheers!
