I am using Arch-Linux with GNOME 3.20
As I cannot install Kannada Language using Region & language, I am trying to install language-selector-gnome using which it is possible to install Kannada. But sadly , it seems language-selector-gnome is not in the repos.
[severus@Tux ~]$ sudo pacman -S language-selector-gnome
error: target not found: language-selector-gnome
[severus@Tux ~]$
Is there any way I can Install kannada language on Arch Linux ?

Well, it seams that the problem is choosing the language in Gnome.
So just set
LANG=kn_IN.UTF-8
.
For more information you should refer to the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale

You also need to generate the locale with locale-gen, otherwise Gnome won't show it, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale

Here is what I did :
- Uncommented kn_IN UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen
- did
sudo locale-gen
- Did system upgrade (hoping that some language packs would be downloaded)
But alas , I don't get kannada . Arter restart , it shows kannada like this : http://i.stack.imgur.com/eCdBp.png.
And please note, I do not want kannada as my System Language. I just want to be able to type kannada when ever I switch to Kannada keyboard layout.
kannada Keyboard layout is available In GNOME , But not kannada language packs .
Any help would be Appreciated
Thank you.

Well, this is strange !. As said, I uncommented kn_IN UTF-8 and did sudo locale-gen and rebooted. But I dont see kannada option in my GNOME Region & Language. Whereas I can See English ( United States ) and English ( India ). What should I do ?

Looks like the font you're using simply doesn't have glyphs for kannada.
see the wiki for how to check for fonts supporting certain locale, and list of fonts with multilingual support.

There also is extra/ttf-indic-otf in the official repos.
