[ubuntu-in] a English-to-Hindi transliteration tool for Ubuntu

[Amarendra Kumar]

Because I have never typed in Hindi using a Hindi keyboard layout. That's
why I need transliteration. Plus, my Hindi typing needs are limited to just
typing my paper diary (quite some pages and majority are in Hindi, since
class VIII).

Learning Hindi typing while I can't actually touch-type in English right now
won't be wise.
So, I think transliteration is a good option.

And thanks, I will try SCIM anyway.
