MS Office Hindi version is MS Office with Hindi font. The menus, 
documentations, error messages, etc are all English. The support is very 
primitive and only support 3-4 popular Indian languages.

If you just want a hindi font on Linux you can do it today itself but the 
idea is to have everything Menus, documentations, error messages, etc 
translated into Linux.

We are trying to complete support for Indian Languages on Linux for all the 
languages. see our project www.indlinux.org
