Script
Devanagari or Roman: the same words, your choice of letters
On the setup screen, Nepali captions have a script choice. Romanising is not translating: your words stay exactly as you said them and only the letters change.
Devanagariकहाँ जाने
Romankaha jane
Devanagari suits viewers who read Nepali script. Roman letters suit viewers who read Nepali but type it in Latin letters, or who are still learning the script. In the screenshot above, the English word "option" inside a Nepali sentence stays in Latin letters, the way it was spoken.
Translation
Translate Nepali captions into English, or the other way round
The spoken language and the caption language are set separately, so Nepali can be either side of a translation.
