To say what an English word means in another language, you must first understand what the word means in English.

The word "Xerox" has meanings that would translate differently into Hindi, and some of those meaning are incorrect usages of the word.

When someone says "a Xerox" they could mean:

  • a photocopy
  • a Xerox machine - a product sold by the Xerox Corporation
  • to make a copy

There is no Hindi word for 'xerox.' Xerox is the name of a company which is world leader in photocopier machines and business services. Their photocopiers are so famous that 'xerox' and 'photocopy' is often but incorrectly used interchangeably.

A Hindi speaker would speak the word "Xerox" as if phonetically spelled ZÄ«raksÄ, according to Google translate. The word 'photocopy' is also transferred whole to Hindi, and pronounced essentially as in English.

The word "photocopy" is sometimes translated to Hindi as "pratilipi".
