SCREENSHOT 71) Keyboard layouts – the ability to write in different languages.

Switching policy of the layouts – changing the language may be per all applications – globally or per desktop, application, or even window. If set to Application when the user changes the language in one application and switches to some others, the previous language will be set. To enable adding additional language layouts check the “Configure layouts” and then click on the “+ Add” button.
