For many years SCIM has been the premier and preferred input method
for many who type non-European languages all over the world. And it
worked in all the previous distributions of Ubuntu. But there seems to
be a preference in making users type with IBUS instead. Both systems
used to be supported, but now in 14.04 only IBUS has support. For the
first time, SCIM has not been incorporated and cannot be used. The
language packages come in a bundle called m17n, and m17n only works
with IBUS now; it does not work with SCIM. Many who want to type in an
Asian language are going to be in difficulty in 14.04. I think the
Middle Eastern languages will also suffer the same fate. See problem
described here
<http://askubuntu.com/questions/165980/scim-input-method-not-working>.
I have filed a bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim-m17n/+bug/1312517> for
the matter, but it is not getting any attention.
*If anyone knows a solution for getting scim-m17n to work in 14.04,
please put your solution on this thread. * The matter is urgent for
those in need of typing non-European languages.
If you want to be able to type in your Indian language using
scim-m17n, please express your support on the bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim-m17n/+bug/1312517>,
that you want it fixed! Just create a login id, and click that you
also are having a problem with it.
We've got the solution-- it is working great now. For any interested,
see my thread <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2221236> on this
subject in the Ubuntu forum. Matter solved.

Swarup
