Though, same as Andre, getting more details on the problem would help (keep in mind we don't write Marathi, so don't have any background on which character should show how, and why it doesn't; though I know such problems exist, for instance I read some CJK character would show different depending on whether you use fonts targeted at Japanese or Chinese audience). > > > Along with the work of translating GIMP user interface into Marathi, > > we have also planned for localization of GIMP user manual into > > Marathi. > > > > The steps for translation of user manual are obtained from website > > https://gitlab.gnome.org/.

The most up-to-date files are: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help Maybe po files are hosted elsewhere, and maybe these are exactly the same (or not; no idea).
