Assuming that the hi_IN locale is present where it needs to be, the
way to address this would be to install the language pack for Hindi.

translate.sugarlabs.org/langpacks/

I have not yet made any adjustments in the langpack generation script
to switch from Glucose 0.94 to Glucose 0.96.  I think that would be
necessary to get the Glucose strings 100% correct, but everything else
should be fine.

When were you thinking og doing this?  I could try to make the switch
in the nightly language pack generation script when I have the time
(which is in short supply at the moment), but I could really sue some
help on Poolte administrative tasks.


This page is out-of-date, it would be nice if someone would bring it
current, perhaps someone walking through the process, soon?
