I installed scim IME in my ubuntu 10.04 linux. I also installed hindi and gujrati support/fonts from System->Administration->Language support.

I logged in and logged out.

However, I have no clue how to use scim. I type scim, and some icon shows in the tray. I don't understand much of options in the menu. And I tried a document in openoffice or a file in gvim, but cant find any way to type in hindi. In openoffice, I tried some hindi fonts but they all type in english.

please tell me how to use scim!

thanks

Most IMEs require you to press a specific keystroke to activate them; check the SCIM configuration to confirm what it is. Also, you may need to use another tool in order to enable the IM for the entire session, but I don't know what it's called in Ubuntu.

After installing the following package:

sudo aptitude install libkmfl0 libkmflcomp0 kmflcomp scim-kmfl-imengine

Run 

 scim-setup

Expand the "IMEngine" and click KMFL

Click on "Install" and browse to the folder where the compiles keyboard layout files reside

Open text editor press Ctlr + space to select your installed language
