*# click on the ''Region & Language'' icon
*# open ''Input Sources'' tab
*# click on ''+'' icon to add any input sources

* In GNOME '''im-chooser''' is now deprecated, except in Fallback mode.
* If there are no input sources in the list which you want to use, try the following command on the terminal and restart the desktop:
*:<pre>gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true</pre>
* There may be no shortcut key to turn on/off the input method by default. you can enable it as the following steps:
*# click the ''shortcut settings'' link in the ''Input Sources'' tab on ''System Settings'' or click the ''Keyboard'' icon at the top and the ''Shortcuts'' tab, the ''Typing'' section at the left pane.
*# click on the ''Switch to next source'', press '''[Control]''' + '''[space]'''.
* There may be no input source to input a native language through ibus by default. you can add it with the above steps as a workaround. this is the input sources table corresponding to the input method engines:

* '''ibus-typing-booster''' is a predictive input method for the ibus platform. It predicts complete words based on partial input.

** Assamese, Bengali, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Maithili, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu
** English, Danish, French
* Indian onscreen keyboard ('''iok''') is available with minor enhancements.
