3. Have an IM/layout switcher that explicitely declares to apps and
pango the language which is going to be typed.
That may help when typing, but has the following problems:
- Fonts change when you switch language.
- To make it meaningful, your editor should store the language at the
time of typing as a tag. Or it will lose it and void the advantage.
- Doesn't help when copy/pasting or opening a document.
What will be helpful is, if pango could query your session and see that
you have American English and Chinese Chinese IM/layouts set, so
automatically set PANGO_LANGUAGE to en_US:zh_CN. That is, respect your
set languages, but not necessarily follow the currently-selected one.
