You can achieve that by doing the following:

  • Open the terminal by doing Ctrl+Alt+T.
  • Install ibus by running: sudo apt-get install ibus.
  • Install the library for Indian regional languages by running: sudo apt install ibus-m17n m17n-contrib.
  • Now add ibus to your startup applications:
    1. Open Startup Applications from the dash.
    2. Click on Add.
    3. Enter the name as "ibus".
    4. In the command box type: "ibus-daemon".
    5. Save.
  • Log out and log in back.
  • Go to System > Preferences > Ibus preferences.
  • Select the "input method" tab.
  • From the drop-down menu, Select an input method: Malayalam > Swanalekha.
  • Click on the Add button.
  • Open a text editor and press Ctrl+Space to change the language.

That should help you! Please, leave some feedback when it does.
