Topic: Packages for typing in Hindi from a QWERTY English keyboard

What packages should I build for typing Hindi on a QWERTY English keyboard?

There is ibus which uses python-dbus . I would like to know other alternatives.

Fonts exist. There's something called Inscript layout for Devanagari (script name of Hindi) typing as shown here.

It maps the keys to Devanagari characters. How do you plan to go ahead?

im adding a local virtual keyboard, i know the fonts are there but my keyboard is azerty and there for im forced to use a virtual solution,
indeed i can use an online website but i prefer it to installed localy for many reasons one of them could be working offline.
