Google Input Tools on Linux in c/[email protected]

Not as good as Google's thing, it's a pain to use. "namaste" (नमस्ते) comes out as "naa-maa-saw-tae"(नामासते), and that's the least inaccurate example

I don't just want character substitution.

It's for an Indic language. I want it to be so when I type in "namaste", it types it out correctly as: नमस्ते I want it to be offline.

(afaik this is readily available on android devices using google's input software)

So I want to type in my native language, and the easiest tool i know of is this:

https://www.google.com/inputtools/try/

It's not available offline for Linux though. I have tried running some windows executable from archive.org under wine, this didn't work. I also tried some random alternative (Varnam), but it was way too complex of a setup for me. (It kept telling me to compile libraries, and none of it worked in the end)

I want something that can take in english character input and turn it into proper devnagari typeface. If I type in "namaste", it has to come out as नमस्ते. And It has to be Offline.

I haven't found anything that fits to all these categories

Turns out Google Input is my best bet. Is there a way I can get it working?

I'm not that good at English, so I had no idea what to call it. You can't search for something if you don't know what it's called. My results pointed to other unrelated stuff (It gave me tutorials on how to make text bold, italic, etc).

As seen in the image, neovim just yanks the exact next letter into the line below. How do I make it so words get properly formatted?
