           Summary: wish: display faded language icon on any input textbox
                    that disappears when user start typing (move language
                    indication into/above the input textbox)
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nadavkav at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

KDE users that uses several language in parallel, experience situations in
which they type the wrong (intended) language into the focused input textbox
(anywhere) and have  to clear the "wrong-language" text, switch language and
type it again.

By displaying a faded language icon (symbol/flag) inside the focused input
textbox, the user can immediately distinguish the current language and click
the icon to change it (or key combination).

The language icon (indication) can be faded inside the text input box and the
text can overwrite it or it can be floating over the focused text box.

I think that moving the language indicator/chooser into the input text box can
improve usability.

Kindly,
Nadav :-)

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
By displaying a faded language icon (symbol/flag) inside the focused input
textbox, the user can immediately distinguish the current language and click
the icon to change it (or key combination).

The language icon (indication) can be faded inside the text input box and the
text can overwrite it or it can be floating over the focused text box.
