Switch to a Foreign language when typing in Answer field.
Problem in making Cards [when learning a foreign language.]
When adding or editing a card, we switch from Foreign to Native language many times -- while 'optimizing' the card.
Multiple switching takes time.
Suggestion:
Assign a Foreign language [user chooses it in Settings] to the Front side of Cards.
That way, as one 'clicks' on the Front side - the Foreign language is activated.
Should work in the Browser, too.

On the Mac, the hotkey is command + space

Interlex allows this - once you've identified your two languages, the keyboard switches automatically when you change fields, which is really nice if you've got a number of Shift-Alt combinations to keep straight. After I jury-rigged audio for it with AutoHotKey, I never would have left Interlex if I could have figured out how to get it to handle handle Arabic.
If the alphabets differ in only a few letters (say, English and Danish), it's easier to use AutoHotKey to make hotkeys for the few foreign characters you need - say ,aa to give å. You wouldn't want to type a page this way, but for individual words and phrases it beats switching keyboard layouts every other thing.

There is a perfect workaround for Windows :
Hotkey SHIFT_ALT { shaired by Michael Campbel}. -

There is a typo in the Header. Should read:
"...... in Question Field."
