Observe Hindi is not listed as language.

Type the language code of Hindi - hi. Now you can see hindi is listed as expected

Unrelated, but note the language selector has no border or shadow and it overlaps with the article content in a broken way

Triage meeting notes: This is not an issue specific for MinT for Wiki Readers. The language selector used is the new Vue-based one used in Section Translation (example):

This may be an issue to fix before we consider enabling the unified dashboard on desktop to avoid regressions.
