Can I accompany my mother-in-law until getting boarding passes at Heathrow?

In the queue for the check-in counter (for a flight heading to India) a good chunk of passengers will speak English and Hindi (or any other Indian language spoken in the region she’s travelling to). The same applies in front of the boarding gate. And I’d even dare to say that there’s a chance the check-in agent, security personnel, flight attendants, border control agents speaks one or the other Indian language too. Besides that, this people are used to meeting people who don’t speak English.

Even being completely alone, she will find a way to communicate with people and manage to deal with any problem. There no environment more international than an international airport.

Maybe better than paper notes would be giving her a cell-phone and being available until she takes the plane.

Yes, you absolutely can. At Heathrow they do not check if you are traveler or not until the time you reach the secured departures area through the security gates. That obviously is after the check-in step.

You can go to check-in counter with her, help her get a boarding pass. She then goes through the security for departures area and you go back home from there.

At that point, she either has to put her boarding pass on the scanner herself or a member of staff will be there to check her boarding pass, after that she will have to go through security and all the standard procedures apply there, as noted in the comment below.
