You may contact the English GRASS mailing and ask for users there
(I know that some are subscribed). A second possibility is to
ask on the mailing list of

There is some i18N already in GRASS to provide multi-language
support. The next version 5.0.2 should contain support for
Russian language. Perhaps you could study that and provide
the .po files accordingly to the GRASS developers for upload
into the system.

BTW: Are you thinking of Hindi or another Indian language?

That's great! If you have a web page for that, please send us the
link and we'll add it to the list on the web site.
