Are there any Mac users who want a Hindi localization for Mac too? It would be so nice if Mac were available in Hindi too..

If I understood you right, you're wishing for the UI of OSX to be localized into Hindi?
I guess that's strictly a market decision by Apple.
The day Apple starts selling tens of thousands of Mac computers in India, the market will prove that there is a real demand.
Until that happens, no lobbying will convince Apple. "Money talks..." as the proverb goes. With the boom in India, I hope it's just a matter of time!

But apart from the system UI, what's the grief? There are already many third party application with Hindi interface, and displaying web sites or mail content in Hindi is no longer an issue.
