If you want to edit an Indian language file or folder name, first select an

activated until you have opened a WorldScript-compatible application.

Keyboard layouts in your Indian Language Kit

The Indian Language Kit offers two different layouts for each of the three
Indian language scripts it presently supports. The default layout—Inscript—is
available for all three scripts. In addition, the kit offers the QWERTY
keyboard layout as an option. If you install all the keyboards in the Indian
Language Kit, they appear in this order in your Keyboards menu:
m Devanagari
m Devanagari QWERTY
m Nepali
m Gurmukhi
m Gurmukhi QWERTY
m Gujarati
m Gujarati QWERTY

The Nepali keyboard layout is part of the Devanagari group of keyboard
layouts and is compatible with the mechanical keyboard layout used in Nepal.
The default Devanagari keyboard layout also supports Marathi, the language
of the state of Maharashtra in western India.

The default (Inscript) keyboard layouts for all three Indian language scripts
also support the Roman script when you hold down the Option key.
