Request to "Activate one language for the Front, another one - for the Back" with one click :-)

[Vit]

Hello, Peter.
    Would you be willing to implement this request - if enough users requested it ? 
   It's so time consuming to switch languages!
Does anyone know a quick way { windows XP} ?
Or maybe someone  could write a plugin?

Thank you.

That's what uservoice is for ;-) But please describe what you want in more detail, as I don't get it yet...

  Problem in making Cards  [when learning a  foreign language.]
       When adding or editing a card,  we switch from Foreign to Native language many times -- while 'optimizing' the card.
Switching takes time.
   Suggestion:
  Assign a Foreign  language [user chooses it in Settings]  to the Front side of Cards,  and Native lang - to Back side.
That way, as one  'clicks' on the Back side - the Native lang is activated; same for the Front.
     Should work in Browser, too.
 
Good day, Peter.

Are you talking about switching keyboard layouts?

Peter:    Are you talking about switching keyboard layouts?
Vit:    I'm afraid to say YES because  I dont know what that Tachnically means.
          What I know is:  I want to click in the Answer/Back/Meaning  field and magically words typed are in a Foreign language of my choice.
 
However you do it, it should be more time-efficient then now {to worth your effort};    which is:
*move the cursor to  wherever  the  Language Icon is placed by User
*aim at {very small} language  icon - takes time
*click -- move cursor again -- click another language
*move Cursor back to Mnemo window

   Can it be done  without a herculian effort  ?

Thank you.

Hi,

This is done by Windows, not by Mnemosyne, so I have no idea yet whether
I can do anything about this or not.

Don't let that stop you to file a suggestion at uservoice, though.

Hi Vit,

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.

Hope this helps,
Oisín
