Hello Sarah,
I know little about translating from one language to another,
but I thought I'd do a quick Google search to see if I could find
something for you. Here's a few links I came up with. Hope this helps:
1. Download the package hindi-shusha.zip
2. Use Winzip or some package to unzip the file. You will get
a file "SHUSHA.TTF".
3. Copy this file to c:\windows\fonts. Reboot.
