Linux version: can only type latin characters--what about Hindi, Chinese, etc i.e. SCIM?

[Swarup]

The linux version works very well, but one can only type latin characters in the text window. If one needs to type i.e. in Hindi or Chinese or Arabic, then one has to open a separate application like a text editor, in which to do one's typing. And that is very inefficient, as one needs to bring one application up to the front in order to type, and then has to bring the other application to the front in order to control playback i.e. rewind, pause, etc. So there should be facility for using SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) for typing other language characters. Is this possible in the Express Scribe text window?
