So I want to type in my native language, and the easiest tool i know of is this:

https://www.google.com/inputtools/try/

It’s not available offline for Linux though. I have tried running some windows executable from archive.org under wine, this didn’t work. I also tried some random alternative (Varnam), but it was way too complex of a setup for me. (It kept telling me to compile libraries, and none of it worked in the end)

I want something that can take in english character input and turn it into proper devnagari typeface. If I type in “namaste”, it has to come out as नमस्ते. And It has to be Offline.

I haven’t found anything that fits to all these categories

Turns out Google Input is my best bet. Is there a way I can get it working?

      Not as good as Google’s thing, it’s a pain to use. “namaste” (नमस्ते) comes out as “naa-maa-saw-tae”(नामासते), and that’s the least inaccurate example
