This is something that is handled differently by Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, and is probably outside the scope of what Mnemosyne does. You're right that changing the input language like this is quite laborious in Windows. However, you can easily assign a "hotkey" for this purpose which makes this process much easier and quicker: 1. Right-click on the language icon, which causes a small menu to pop up. 2. Select the "Settings..." option from the popup menu, which will open a dialog box (it's called "Text Services and Input Languages" on my computer). 3. Click the "Advanced Key Settings" tab. 4. You will now see the different actions that can be performed and choose hotkeys for each one. For example, mine has "Ctrl-Shift-0" to switch to Chinese text input, and "Ctrl-Shift-9" to switch to Irish/English. You'll quickly get used to hitting your hotkeys instantly to switch to the required language.
