Generally you can enter text of any language and alphabet into any text boxes - that's the big advantage of unicode. In your case, you could apply some filtering for the ranges of the characters entered into the text boxes, i.e. subscribe to the TextChanged event and check if all the characters are "English" or "Hindi".

[Edit]
Now I understand what you want to achieve.
System.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage is what you need. In the Enter event, set the CurrentInputLanguage (do not forget to verify that Hindi is available!).
See http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ar/csharpgeneral/thread/0e551a77-4251-475a-aec4-5ef576b4761a[^]
But I doubt that something like that can be used on a web page...

Hi,

Google provides a good script to do this,
try this :

add these script in your HEAD section

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
   <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
       google.load("elements", "1", {
           packages: "transliteration"
       });

       function eng() {
           var options = {
               sourceLanguage: google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH,
               destinationLanguage: [google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.HINDI],
               transliterationEnabled: true
           };
           var control =
     new google.elements.transliteration.TransliterationControl(options);
           control.makeTransliteratable(['textHindi']);
       }
       function hindi() {
           var options = {
               sourceLanguage: google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.HINDI,
               destinationLanguage: [google.elements.transliteration.LanguageCode.ENGLISH],
               transliterationEnabled: true
           };
           var control =
     new google.elements.transliteration.TransliterationControl(options);
           control.makeTransliteratable(['textHindi']);
       }

       $(document).ready(function () {
           $('#textHindi').focus(function () {
               eng();
           });
           $('#textEng').focus(function () {
               hindi();
           });
       });

       google.setOnLoadCallback(eng);
       google.setOnLoadCallback(hindi);
   </script>

and add two textboxes like:

HTML

<table>
       <tr>
           <td align="left">
               <input type="text" id="textHindi" />
           </td>
           <td>
               <input type="text" id="textEng" />
           </td>
       </tr>
   </table>

now test your code by writing some text in both textboxes,

hope this help you.
