Hindi will make it, as Kumar committed self to do it.

Bengali is waiting for Jamil or another person to cope (last update
July 2007)

Malayalam needs some action by Praveen (he generally catches up)

Marathi need Sampada Nakhare to complete the files, maybe with Priti
patil acting as proxy (last updates in July 2008)

Nepali needs something by Paras Pradhan (last update in February 2008)

Punjabi needs Amanpreet Singh Alam to act on incomplete files (no
update since May 2008 or so)

Tamil needs Tirumurti Vasudevan to come (last update May 2008)

I don't think that either Kannada or Telugu will make it. Both have
*very few* translated strings. Vincent Vikram is coordinating efforts
for Kannada on an external server (running Pootle, IIRC) but the
language was never tested in D-I.
