Hi, I have been meaning to follow up to you, as you keep mentioning Baraha. I am working with someone to implement a Baraha keymap for Hindi, but it will take at least a few more days. However, there are already phonetic keymaps using SCIM that follow de-facto standards like ITRANS, and not some proprietary scheme used by a closed-source company. To install on Ubuntu, do, sudo apt-get install scim scim-tables-additional scim-m17n Restart SCIM if you already had it running (log out, and back in, if nothing else), open gedit, right-click in the edit area, and choose Input Methods > SCIM input method. This will open a small SCIM wndow, probably at the top right. Move the mouse on to that window, click on where it says English/Keyboard, and choose Hindi > M17N-hi-itrans for Hindi. See http://www.aczoom.com/itrans/dvnc/node3.html for the layout. There should also be a different phonetic keyboard, labelled "Phonetic" under Hindi.
