They can simply tap on the menu button on the left corner of the home page, scroll down and tap on 'English' language and select Hindi as the preferred language. Users can always change the language preference back to English.

Officials said Amazon doesn't have its entire portfolio of products in Hindi as yet and that the company is starting off with the most common items for its Hindi website. They said the company has carefully selected products that are most popular with its Hindi speaking customers.

Amazon plans to bring more languages to its website in the near future.

Reports said Amazon launched a new category of Alexa skills on August 14 that would enable customers to help the popular voice assistant learn Hindi and other Indian languages. They said users can teach Alexa by using the new "Cleo" skill more about Indian languages and culture by interacting with it.
