software to convert English document to Hindi

Is there any software available to convert an English language text document
to Hindi language document by using dictionary based translation (not
transliteration).
For example:

English text: My name
converted to : मेरा नाम

There is software, and there are services, and some of them are free.

For example, I just used translate.google.com to convert "My name" to
Hindi and it came up with the same text as your posted. You can probably
use Google APIs to submit text and receive a translation - I don't know.

From within recent versions of Word such as Word 2007 you can also
invoke translators by going to the Review tab, Proofing, translate. In
the basic facility I don't see an English-Hindi option (surprising these
days!) but perhaps one of the raft of other options will be helpful.

You probably already realise that machine translation is not very
reliable. As long as you are competent in both languages you obviously
have the option to read and correct the translation. If not, you really
have no way of judging the quality of the output, and you shuld consider
a. review by someone competent n the target language
b. professional translation
c. providing the source language text to the recipient and some
suggestions for translation services that they could use, with suitable
warnings. Then it's up to them.

Thank you for the information

Google is the best free resource, probably with babeltalk. However, automatic translations are not your best bet if you don't know the target language and want anything other than getting a general idea of what the text is about for personal use.
There is translation software out there, like Atlas (free) or trados, but none of them will give you an accurate usable translation if you can't correct the results.

Your best bet is to either hire a pro translator, or to go around looking for forums where bilingual users may voluntarily translate your text (assuming it is not terribly long).

Good luck!

I recommend Google Translation, which supports English to Hindi conversions and vice-versa.
