    For Ubuntu 16.04 and above you must install the right language support

    Go to System Settings > Language Support > Install / Remove Languages

    and select Bangla (or any other languages). Then click on Apply

    Mark Complex Text Layout settings in LibreOffice

    1. Open LibreOffice Writer
    2. Form the top menu select Tools > Option
    3. Scroll down the left panel of the Options window to Language Settings > Language
    4. Select Complex Text Layout (CTL) check mark, and select the language such as Bengali.

    Select Keyboard layout (if needed)

    ibus is not supported any more (I think). If needed select an alternate keyboard layout:

    1. Go to Systems Settings > Keyboard > Text Entry
    2. Use the + icon at the bottom left to add a Bengali keyboard layout in addition to the default English one.

    On my computer I have the following choices:

    • Bangla
    • Bangla (India)
    • Bangla (India, Baisakhi)
    • Bangla (India, Baisakhi inscript)
    • Bangla (India, Bornona)
    • Bangla (India, Probhat)
    • Bangla (India, Uni, Gitanjali)

    Your mileage may vary.
