Convert a document

Upload a Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .csv) or text (.txt) file typed in Himalaya. Only the Himalaya text is converted. Bold, colours, tables, numbers, formulas and the rest of the formatting stay exactly as they are.

Your file never leaves your computer.

How to use

  1. Copy the text out of your Himalaya document. It may show as English letters, which is fine.
  2. Paste it into the Himalaya box. Unicode Nepali appears on the right. For a whole Word file with its bold, italic and tables, use Upload Word file instead.
  3. Press Copy text and paste the converted Himalaya text where it is needed. In Word, set it in a Unicode font such as Kalimati or Mangal.

Tip:Lines with २०८१ are the quickest check: Himalaya types it as 2081, and the right-hand box should show २०८१.

How Himalaya compares with Preeti

Himalaya types 134 of the 190 keys of Preeti the same way. Keys with a different letter: 25. Keys only Himalaya has: 10. That is why many documents convert alike in both, and why the keys below are worth knowing. All of it is read from the same key maps the converter uses.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the Himalaya font file and read by eye, and converted sentences were drawn back in the font itself to check they read correctly. It has not yet been run on a real office document, so please read anything important before you rely on it.
Can I use a Preeti converter instead?
Most keys are the same, but not the ones listed above, and a Preeti converter gets exactly those letters wrong. This page reads them the way Himalaya draws them.
What happens to English words and numbers?
Numbers are converted too: in Himalaya the number keys draw Nepali letters or digits, so there is nothing to keep as it is. Web and email addresses are always kept.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

What Himalaya text is

Himalaya is a Nepali font typed on the Preeti keyboard. Like Preeti, it stores Nepali as keyboard characters, so on a computer without the font नेपाल shows up as g]kfn. This page turns those characters into real Unicode Nepali, which works everywhere.

How Himalaya differs from Preeti

  • The number keys are digits. 2081 is २०८१, where Preeti types @)*!. The letters Preeti keeps on 0 to 9 move to the shifted row: ! is ज्ञ.
  • The quote keys are swapped. ' and " are ू and ु, the other way round from Preeti.
  • ँ on ¤, and ा on both f and F.

The font is listed in Word as HIMALAYA TT FONT. For the other direction use Unicode to Himalaya. For text typed in Preeti itself, use Preeti to Unicode.
