Making Sweets available for translation in Hindi and Marathi is simple
(and now done on the Pootle server).  However, you should also realize
that this is truly part of a a software "stack".  Sweets strings build
on top of Dextrose strings, which build on top of Glucose strings, all
of which is just to create the environment where the strings from the
Fructose and Honey activities can be presented and used.

I'd encourage you to reach out to the OLPC India [1] list and join the
L10n list [2] to coordinate a crowd-sourced translation effort to
finish off those projects in those languages,
