I have uploaded partially translated grass po files for Marathi (mr_IN) to
http://www.janabhaaratii.org.in/portal/Members/swapnil/tmp/gis/
locale: mr_IN
encoding: UTF-8
Font: http://www.janabhaaratii.org.in/janabhaaratii/src/fonts/Gargi_1.7.ttf
I have done the translations for demonstration only. They are not final.
Now will wait for your response.

bye
