Description of the new feature / enhancement

When we have multiple keyboard layouts installed, and we type by mistake in an unintended language; allow to select and convert the mistaken text into the intended language

Scenario when this would be used?

When typing with the wrong keyboard layout selected

This proposal does not call for a translator program at all.
My 2 cents would be:

  1. If there is text selected anywhere
  2. Intercept the keyboard change shortcut/call (Widows key + space, or ALT+SHFT) after a new layout is selected
  3. If a different keyboard layout is selected, then convert the selected text from the current keyboard layout to the new selected keyboard layout
  4. Tada

Maybe AutoHokey could do this
