I use the English-Hindi and Hindi-English using the dictd server. For
that you need to install the dictd, dict packages and dependencies (I
use sudo apt-get install dictd dict). And then install the free
dictionaries you want, for example, for the above mentioned dictionaries
you'd run the following command:

sudo apt-get install dict-freedict-eng-hin dict-freedict-hin-eng

And then at the shell prompt you can use

dict -d fd-eng-hin <word>

for English to Hindi.

Getting SCIM to work is a bit of work, but I have also used the link
provided by Mehul Ved in response to your query and it should work.
