Regarding Key layouts, if you are meaning support at the OS level, it is easy in Linux as all these are supported ibus with m17n. For the Windows platform that is more common, Inscript has been setup on the machines in the lab. As practising with transliteration is easier to start, we focussed on that. We should cover other keyboard methods in future events Cheers Arjun
