You can just check the list of files.  I just did for you (Tamil is not there).

I can still add your translation to win32-loader, but it can't be enabled untill
nsis supports it.  If you want Tamil in win32-loader, get in touch with the
NSIS maintainers first!

this is the essence of talks i had with the NSIS ppl.
would this help in anyway?
=====================
Tamil requires Unicode. NSIS doesn't support Unicode yet. A patch to
create a Unicode installer should soon be released on the forums, but
that'd create installers built for 2000/XP only.
here's the patch:

Then I guess you'll have to wait until this patch will be integrated
which won't be soon.
