Hi Khushi, As for Hindi, you should first test the coverage.
According to this page (last edited in 2019), the dictionary was some 37,000 (which is quite good, in principle) but only some 83.1% : https://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Languages. So, you should see what is the current state of the package. You should install Apertium and the Hindi package. A corpus is need: we usually get Wikipedia, and select randomly several million sentences of it. With this, you can calculate the naive coverage, and see if the dictionary has grown significatively since 2019. Once you have this, you can analyse where the problem comes: This low coverage is basically due to missing words or morphological forms that are not recognised, although the words do exist in the dictionary? With 37,000 words and 83% coverage, the latter seems likely (regardless of the fact that it is always good to have more words in dictionaries). It is a question of understanding what is missing: nominal morphological forms, verbals? It is also interesting to see if there are free sources from which the dictionary could be expanded automatically or semi-automatically. On this basis one can see if there is work for a project. Most probably there is for a small or, at most, a medium-sized one.
