How to switch language on keyboard

Как переключить язык на клавиатуре

The first way to change the language is by clicking the mouse. You just need to hover your mouse over the toolbar located at the bottom right of the monitor, next to the date and clock. The indicator on the panel may be the letter abbreviations RU - which means Russian, or EN - which means English, or the flag icon of the country to which this language belongs. After this, you need to move the mouse cursor over the corresponding icon or letter abbreviation and left-click on the corresponding indicator. A window will appear with a choice of language, where you also need to indicate the language with the cursor and press the left button on the mouse.

The second way is to change the language using the appropriate hot keys . On most computers, this key combination is the Shift+Alt keys, which are located at the bottom left of the keyboard. Some computers have a different key combination, Ctrl+Alt, which is located to the left of the spacebar. But the user can choose which combination is more convenient for him. To do this, you need to right-click on the language indicator and select “options” and then in the “switch keyboard” item you need to select the appropriate combination of keys for changing the language.

There are other versions of the settings, which are different on each personal computer. Similarly, you need to right-click on the language indicator and select “settings”, then in the “hot keys” menu and select the desired keyboard shortcut to change the language. The third method, and today perhaps the most common of all methods, is automatic switching using also a fairly well-known program Punto Switcher . The principle of this program is quite simple. When the user enters Latin characters while the Russian language is turned on, the program automatically switches to the English input mode and, conversely, when the English language is turned on while entering words into Russian.

    Interestingly, I didn’t know about the third method through the program.

    I showed this article as mandatory study for our retirees at work. She said, memorize it by heart. Otherwise they’re too busy, they don’t know how to switch languages ​​themselves!

    How can I add permissions to switch the language too? I opened the settings as shown, but I only have the left keyboard shortcut there.
