Translation needed from Hindo to English
I found this article on another bulletin board:

"MUMBAI: Kids channel Nickelodeon, in its all-out bid to get a toe-hold in Indian TV homes, has renamed itself (on air) as Nick and become almost completely 'desi'."

(...)

"The ‘Dekha Kya? Nick Ab Hindi Mein!’ campaign is being promoted on-air across Nick, MTV and extensively across local cable channels in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore."

Could anyone explain the Hindi bits ("desi" and "Dekha Kya? Nick Ab Hindi Mein!") for me in English? I'd like to be able to understand what on earth it means.

Language pair: English; Hindi

Re:Translation needed from Hindo to English
Hi there. I think i can help u out.
Desi means "indian/homemade"
Deka Kya means " Have u seen?"
Nick Ab Hindi Mein means " Nick is in Hindi now"

Summary: Nick has become totally desi, have u seen ?

I hope it is clear now.
