However, most people in India are still using the term "Swine Flu", instead of using Hindi. Much of the medical terminology acquired from English sources continues to be spoken in the English words by Hindi speaking people. The English Medical Terminology is often what is used in clinical discussions as well.

Swine Flu is a confusing term in many languages now, since there are the original strains of Swine Flu that pigs (swine) get which is also called H1N1, and now the new human virus, which was originally called the 2009 Swine Flu in English among American medical professionals when it was first discovered in late March and early April, 2009 in Mexico.

In June 2009, the outbreak had grown to pandemic proportions, and as more nations talked about it in more languages, it became known under many different names in English. Some of those names being used (correctly or incorrectly) to refer to the 2009 pandemic flu virus are: Novel H1N1 Influenza, New H1N1 Influenza, 2009 Swine Flu, Type A Influenza H1N1-09, Pandemic Swine Flu, A-H1N1/09 Virus, "Mexican Flu", H1N1, Pandemic Swine Flu and others in English. Some other names around the world include Schweinegrippe in Germany, la Grippe A in France, and La epidemia in Mexico.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is using A-H1N1/09 most often now, to try to distinguish it from the prior strains of H1N1, such as the one that pigs get, and various prior human strains of H1N1 flu viruses (e.g., the one in 1930, 1976, 1988, and even the "Spanish Flu" in 1918 was also a strain of H1N1). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using its coined name, "Novel H1N1" or Novel H1N1-09 Influenza which means "New" H1N1.

To translate some additional commonly used English names and terminology for the flu that is spreading around the world into the Hindi language, these terms were translated using Google Translate which gave the following translations (see comments in the Discussion area for credit to the provider of the phonetic pronunciations):
