I'm struggling to achieve what seems like a quite easy thing.
- I'm running a Windows 10 Laptop installed in English.
- I live in Germany, so
Country or region
(Settings -> Time & Language -> Region & language
) is set toGermany
. - My
Display Language
is set toEnglish (United States)
. - As I use a hardware keyboard with US layout, but still need to type some German stuff, I have two keyboard layouts added to the input language -
US
(default) andGerman
.
So far, so good. But I recently started learning Russian and now I need to practice typing. I can't add the Russian keyboard layout to the English (United States)
language - it simply doesn't show up in the list.
To add the keyboard layout to my hotkey switchable keyboard layout list is all I want. When I add Russian
as a language it is obviously being ignored by the keyboard layout switch hotkey, since it's a completely new input method instead of just a keyboard layout, so it keeps switching between US
and DE
only.
This is what my language bar looks like with Russian
added as a language:
Those are my advanced settings and language bar hotkeys:
Can someone help? Many thanks in advance!
If you want cyclic change
US
=>DE
=>RU
using the only hotkey then set up three languages i.e. English(en-US
keyboard), German(de-DE
) and Russian(ru-RU
). – JosefZ – 2017-12-31T15:55:13.220Wouldn't that change the interaction with different things? Like websites that will then start to preferably show up in Russian when
ru-RU
is currently active? I'd rather have the same language and different keyboard layouts. I mean, I can't be the only one who wants to use English as display language and Russian as input method, right? There needs to be a simple way to set this up. – David – 2017-12-31T16:23:22.767
