Thanks a lot for your attention! (Not that I am a big expert in l10n, but) I think that essentially we can have three cases: 1. User switches keyboard layout when typing in different languages. This is easy case - just ask OS about layout and apply it to typed text, no need to do guesswork. Competition does this. 2. User does nothing to indicate the language of typed text. Well, if effort is made already, it would be unwise to not use. This would be usefull for text that is pasted. Competition also does this. 3. Layout information contradicts with what is guessed. Most common reason - user forgets to switch keyboard layout. AFAIK, competitors do not attempt to correct this, 3rd parties (like PuntoSwitcher) do. (I would post quotation from MS documentation, but afraid that this can be basis for lawsuit). With best regards, K. Palagin. P.S. Does anybody know why the most simple to implement case was not implemented? Or it is not that simple? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
