You may take a look at http://www.foss4g.org/FOSS4G/
the i18n version of GRASS5.0.3 can be downloaded from here.
UTF 8 support d.text d.label ps.map and tcltkgrass-i18n etc
are included in GRASS-i18n. We have successfully tested
the GRASS-i18n with Japanese and Veitnamese. We also look
forward for someone to bring out a Hindi version of tcltkgrass.
How to generate tcltkgrass menus in other languages is also
described in the above website

Hope this helps.

Bye
