You can install and use yudit in ubuntu or for simple word usage try in menu Apps>accsres>gucharmap .make sure ttf-indic-fonts or ttf-bengali-fonts installed.I have used Yudit with both malayalam and devnagari;both worked well.(transliterator)

What about scim? See *ubuntu-in.org/wiki/SCIM_hindi
This might be useful too - *ubuntu-in.org/wiki/XKB_Howto

SCIM is a great way to type in many languages easily...

again yudit is versatile.it offers both inscript support and direct transliteration.for eg: for hindi,hinglish works perfect.
