Hello Rahul:

Go to System -> Administration -> Language Support. Scroll through the list and click the ones you want. Under input method, you can click "Enable support to enter complex characters" but I think it's not required. The system may install some packages and ask for a reboot. It's not required for most apps like Firefox, Pidgin IM, and maybe vim (with vim, it works in the terminal but that file in Firefox looks weird. probably character set or encoding issues).
This is the exact problem you are facing now.. For that change the character encoding to Unicode (utf8) in firefox..
open up firefox then go to View -> Character Encoding click on Unicode(utf8) and restart firefox and you should be done..

Then right click the panel/taskbar, Add To Panel, and select Keyboard Indicator from the Utilities section. That should put an indicator on your panel, right click and select Keyboard Preferences, Layouts. Click Add to add India to the list, and close it. Clicking on the panel indicator will switch input methods. Right click and Show Current Layout to see which (real) key produces which code..

Enjoy mate!

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.

Just select 'Marathi' instead 'Kannada' .
Hope this might help.
