You should be able to train it on Kannada in principle; all the string handling is in terms of Unicode/UTF-8 (and is very simple anyway in the new version).
However, given that Kannada is a fairly complex script, you may run into some script-related issues (e.g., with how diacritics are encoded). You may have to modify the default Unicode representation slightly, break up ligatures, etc. The only way to know is to give it a try.
