OK. I got the above. The size of this edit box can be changed at wiki - My preferences - Editing. > > As default that box is checked so whatever i start typing comes in Hindi/ > devanagari.

If you switch on editing toolbar, that appears at the place where this checkbox is appearing, and the checkbox is gone. Even then it is in effect, and I am left in Wiki's hindi typing mode and there is no checkbox appearing that I can click off to go to english mode. I don't know where such feedback can be provided so that they can correct it. Hope someone would guide me or would forward it to them.
