Hi, First,Go to language support and install Tamil . Then Do this :

sudo apt-get install scim  language-pack-ta language-pack-ta-base scim-tables-additional scim-modules-table 

And then

cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d
sudo gedit 75custom-scim_init 

A file will be opened. In that file, Paste these lines and save it :

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"

export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"

export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"

Logout and in. Then an icon should appear in the panel, click on it and choose language .
