AFAIK, iPad doesn't support Hindi for its UI. And for PC, it was hard for us to explain the concept of 'mouse' to my mom. It is not intuitive to her why moving this thing on desk, moves an arrow on computer. The whole notion of 'Start','Programs', 'Window' is very difficult to explain to someone who has never used computer in their life. Yes, she could learn it if someone spends a lot of time. But why should she need to spend a lot of time when she doesn't need to?

- solutionyogi 15y agoThat's awesome. I will get that changed right away. My mom is comfortable with iPad but with Hindi language, she will really feel confident and won't worry about 'breaking' the computer and would experiment more. Thank you very much.
- solutionyogi 15y agoUpdate: Hindi is not a supported language. The linked article says that Hindi is supported for Voice Control not for the main UI.
- shad0wfax 15y agoI cannot agree more on this. I am facing a similar predicament and with me being here in India right now around my mom. I have taught her how to copy and paste files from PC to USB drive. She is a teacher, speaks english and is generally adept at other things. But, she just cannot grasp how to navigate file systems, the menus, the basic actions needed to move things around. Needless to say I have to explain them over and over again. However, when she uses my iphone/ipad she finds is remarkably simple and easy to navigate. The underlying theme is the simplicity through limitation. The less there is to know, the easier it is to deal with. There is clearly a space for tablets for simple minds.
