This works (mostly) in LyX. However, if your output encoding (i.e. LaTeX's input encoding) is set to UTF-8, the conversion is done by LaTeX's inputenc package that (partially) depends on the language setting. > It seems a bit annoying if you switch from english to japanes, you have > to change your inputmethod and to change the language. This topic came up with Greek/English as well. My recommendation is to create a keybinding that does both with just one key-combo (either as command-sequence in lyx or as an external script that changes the input method and pushs a language switch command to the lyxpipe). > We can even specify a secondary or tertiary language in the Document > Settings.
