GPT2-Medium English → Hinglish Translator
A fine-tuned GPT-2 Medium model for translating English text into Hinglish (Hindi written using the Latin alphabet).
Model Overview
This model has been fine-tuned on the findnitai/english-to-hinglish dataset to generate natural Hinglish translations from English input. The model is designed for conversational text, social media content, chatbots, and localization use cases targeting Indian audiences.
Example
Input
How are you doing today?
Output
Aaj tum kaise ho?
