Hindi keyboard not working properly in Ubuntu





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I saw and followed the instructions in this post, but the Hindi didn't work properly, both in case of keyboard app (layout settings) and ibus.



Here's the problem (people who know Hindi will be in position to answer it):



Suppose I want to write my name ie Udayan - it start with the उ (spelt as 'u') but when I press u for writing उ what appears is ु (my name appears ुदायान). Similar is the case with starting words with अ, इ, ई, ऊ but आ works ( eg. आसम for Asam). Using the matras however, works fine: ie say k+u = कु (where 'u' is the matra).

Different Hindi keyboard mapping put different letters in different places. Which layout you choose is your personal preference and what you are used to.



In some keyboard layouts like "Phonetic" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Indic/HindiKeyboardLayouts#Phonetic_Keyboard_Layout उ is mapped to the ' (single quote, next to Enter) key.



I find Hindi-iTrans (in ibus) the most intuitive. iTrans is a bit more than simple mapping of letters to keys. It tries to make typing in Indian languages more intuitive. However, iTrans has it's own quirks and takes some time to get used to.



There is a Bengali-iTrans (Also see this page for yuktakshar)in ibus as well. What I don't like about it is typing k will give you क् with the hasato. You have to type ka to get क. Sorry for the Hindi font, I am not at my Ubuntu computer at the moment. Another nice Bengali keyboard is "Prabhat". It is available both in ibus as well as normal keyboard layouts.



Hope this helps

    Check the keyboard layout*: if you are using Hindi Bolnagri keyboard layout, to print उ you need to press Alt+u and to print ऊ، Alt+Shift+u.



    * Depending with DE you are using, getting to show the layout may differ:




    • using KDE, I haven't found a way to show the keyboard layout;

    • using Gnome Shell, you have an option to "show keyboard layout" when you right-click on the keyboard indicator;

    • I don't know about Unity (please edit);

    • I don't know about XFCE (please edit).

      PS: I recommend the Bolnagri Layout because it matches the phonetic equivalent (except for retroflex ट, ठ, ड, ढ). Use the x-key to make compounds with the vihara (क + ् + ष = क्ष)

    Try online Hindi Keyboard to type hindi language
    Devanagari InScript bilingual keyboard layout has a common layout for all the Indian scripts. Most Indic scripts have the same phonetic character order. A person who knows InScript typing in one script can type in any other Indic script using dictation even without knowledge of that script

      I had find on the net,maybe it will be help you
      EDIT I should be more helpful here:



      They are hidden and not dropped. If you open a terminal window and run this command:



      Code:
      gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
      the Bolnagri layouts should be shown in the user interface again.

                * Depending with DE you are using, getting to show the layout may differ:




                • using KDE, I haven't found a way to show the keyboard layout;

                • using Gnome Shell, you have an option to "show keyboard layout" when you right-click on the keyboard indicator;

                • I don't know about Unity (please edit);

                • I don't know about XFCE (please edit).

                  PS: I recommend the Bolnagri Layout because it matches the phonetic equivalent (except for retroflex ट, ठ, ड, ढ). Use the x-key to make compounds with the vihara (क + ् + ष = क्ष)

                        I saw and followed the instructions in this post, but the Hindi didn't
                        work properly, both in case of keyboard app (layout settings) and
                        ibus.



                        Here's the problem (people who know Hindi will be in position to
                        answer it):



                        Suppose I want to write my name ie Udayan - it start with the उ (spelt
                        as 'u') but when I press u for writing उ what appears is ु (my name
                        appears ुदायान). Similar is the case with starting words with अ, इ, ई,
                        ऊ but आ works ( eg. आसम for Asam). Using the matras however, works
                        fine: ie say k+u = कु (where 'u' is the matra).



                        Refer to this document for help.




                        I had find on the net,maybe it will be help you
                        EDIT I should be more helpful here:



                        They are hidden and not dropped. If you open a terminal window and run this command:



                        Code:
                        gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
                        the Bolnagri layouts should be shown in the user interface again.
