Hi Aniruddha,

I am not a Hindi speaking person, so I can't suggest any words.

I have another suggestion, though. Please make sure that you leave
keyboard shortcuts intact. It can become very frustrating for a user
when there is no way to access menus or buttons with keyboard.

By the way, I am assuming that you are making translations in
launchpad. If it is so then you should easily get translation
suggestions for same words in other packages.

Also keep an eye on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule for
translation deadlines.
