Checklist
Feature description
Add Hindi as a supported language with abc (Roman) to Hindi transliteration. Typing in Roman script (e.g., "kaise ho") should convert to Hindi script ("कैसे हो") with word suggestions, similar to how Gboard and SwiftKey handle Hindi transliteration.
Why do you want this feature?
Fossify Keyboard doesn't support Hindi at all right now. Most Hindi-speaking users type phonetically in Roman script since it's faster on a QWERTY layout. Without this, I'm forced to use Gboard or SwiftKey just to type in Hindi — both of which collect significant user data. This defeats the purpose of choosing privacy-focused, open source apps. There's a real gap in the open source keyboard space for proper Hindi transliteration support.
Additional information
This would make Fossify Keyboard genuinely usable for the large Hindi-speaking population who also care about privacy. Happy to help test if a beta version with Hindi support is ever released.
