How do I type long vowels in Hindi?

Double the vowel letter. For example aa gives आ, ii gives ई and uu gives ऊ. A single a gives the short अ or the inherent vowel after a consonant.

How do I get the hard T and D sounds?

Use capital letters for the retroflex consonants: T is ट, Th is ठ, D is ड and N is ण. Lowercase t, d and n give the softer dental sounds.

Is this real Hindi typing or a translator?

It is transliteration, not translation. It converts the sounds you type into Devanagari script; it does not translate the meaning of English words into Hindi.

Type Hindi words spelled in English letters and they turn into Hindi (हिन्दी) script as you type. For example, namaste bhaarat becomes नमस्ते भारत.

This is transliteration (by sound), not translation. Type the Hindi words themselves in English letters, not an English sentence. Typing an English phrase such as "my name is" only spells those English sounds in Devanagari script, it does not translate the meaning.
