dont know about 'trisquel'.for ubuntu lucid,i went to
system>preference>language
choose bengali(as its my native language).keyboard shortcut appear in the
panel(previous to lucid,you need to add this separately).
anyway when i need to type,i just clicked on it and bengali gets
activated.its system wide-works in firefox,chromiun,LO.you need not to
install any separate language pack for it to work.just the font.since
sanskrit uses devnagari script (also used by hindi),so that should not be a
problem.
but as i've said this is for ubuntu lucid;dont know about trisquel
regards,
