Both populations also have a large number of speakers: ~300M for Hindi and ~66M for Urdu.

I was really surprised; Hindi is the third-most spoken language in the world, trailing only Mandarin and English. Of the top 10 languages in this Wikipedia list, Tor Browser is missing localizations only for Hindi, Bengali, and Malay. (Urdu is #11.)

Yes, and Firefox has localized versions for Bengali(bn-IN), Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, Hindi, and Urdu. So the strings to translate would be only for the Tor-specific interfaces.

I guess what I'm really asking is what's the process for supporting additional languages? Would adding additional languages add too much overhead to release cycles?
