I have just started using Ubuntu 11.04 (any Linux OS for that matter). I am trying to get Hindi phonetic typing option to work. so far I have not been able to figure it out. Can you tell me step by step how to do it.
I have already checked Hindi in language support, I have also tried getting m17n using terminal commands as suggested in similar forums, but it does not seem to work.
First of all install or check that you have installed ibus-m17n.
sudo apt-get install ibus-m17n or using software center/synaptic. Then choose ibus as input method
Launch Keyboard Input Method It will prompt for starting ibus if it isn't already started check yes:
This will give you a additional keyboard indicator in the panel. Then go to Input Method tab and choose Hindi Phonetic as your input method and add it.
