[ubuntu-in] Typing in Indian Languages (was: need desktop search tool)

[KBS Ramachandra]

How do you enable typing in Indic languages directly? Is there a 
different keyboard layout for each Indian language?

I setup scim and am able to write in Kannada with transliteration in gedit

Would appreciate any inputs on this.

Thanks and regards,
Ramachandra
