Running scripts only when a specific language is active

18 Sep 2020, 18:02

I use two languages on my computer (US English and Polytonic Greek). I have some Autohotkey scripts that I want to run only when Greek is active. Is there a way that a script can detect the current Windows language and either continue to run or exit immediately, depending on which language is active? I tried using the A_Language built-in variable, but it always returns English ("0409"). As far as I can tell, Windows does not indicate the current language in an environment variable, but I could be wrong about that. It's been a few years since I've tinkered with environment variables, and I'm not sure I'm finding all of them. I am using Autohotkey version 1.1.32.00, and Windows 10.

Thanks!

Perhaps A_Language just returns the default for the machine.

On my system

Code: Select all

RegRead, CurLocaleName, % "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International", % "LocaleName"
MsgBox % CurLocaleName
returns "en-AU" for Australian English, which is correct in my case.

Since it's at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" one would hope it is current user specific, but I guess you'd need to try it out on the machine(s) in question to find out for sure.

:thumbup: Very good. That should always work, I'd hope, even if the user has changed during a session from what's saved in the registry.

Thank you, but on my machine this returns English even when I am set to use Greek. This seems to be picking up the default language (just like A_Language), rather than the current language.

Perhaps I asked the question incorrectly. To be more specific, I have Windows configured to enable typing in two languages. This is configured in Settings > Time and Language > Language > Preferred languages. I have the two languages listed there, and "English (United States)" is set as the "Default app language; Default input language" and "Windows display language." Under "Ελληνικά" (Greek), it says only "Language pack installed." Both languages also have icons that indicate options that are configured for each: "Display language installed" and "Typing installed." (English also has three additional option icons, but they are not relevant here.)

On this settings page, when I click on "Ελληνικα," an options button is shown, and one of the options is to "Add a keyboard." I have added the "Greek Polytonic" keyboard. So while I am typing in any app, I can press Windows+Spacebar to toggle between the two language keyboards. That is how I typed the words in Greek in this post. So maybe I am not toggling the "language," but rather I'm toggling the "keyboard."

I don't find anything in the AutoHotKey Help about detecting the keyboard in use. Windows knows which is active at any time, obviously, so it seems like an application such as AutoHotKey should be able to query Windows to find that out. I don't know where Windows keeps that bit of information; I thought it might be in an environment variable, but I guess not. The Registry seems likely, but I don't know much about it, and certainly not enough to find out where it might be in there, although I do see that AutoHotKey has functions to read values from the Registry.

That looks quite tricky. I believe that you want the active input locale identifier. The trick is that it is specific to your context such as, seemingly, the specific process that you are using. Thus, although the following script can identify the "culture", it appears that when this is run, you will still not capture the input locale for the window of your interest.

Code: Select all

MsgBox, 64, Input locale, % getInputLocale()
ExitApp

getInputLocale() {
 out = %TEMP%\inputLocale.txt
 FileRecycle, %out%
 RunWait, %ComSpec% /c "powershell get-culture >%out%",, Hide
 FileReadLine, text, %out%, 4
 FileRecycle, %out%
 Return RegExReplace(text, ".+?\s+.+?\s+(.+)", "$1")
}
The following Windows batch script suffers from the same problem.

Code: Select all

@echo off
SET out=%TEMP%\inputLocale.txt
SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
FOR /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %%G IN ('%WINDIR%\System32\systeminfo.exe') DO (
 IF "%%G"=="Input Locale" FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ("%%H") DO echo %%A>%out%
)
START "View" %out%
EXIT

@mikeyww - Your above lang := {0436: "af;Afrikaans" ...}-array, isn't that extractable from the system, so hasn't to be hardcoded (guessing)? :think:

I'm not sure that solves the issue at hand, unless you have a working AHK script based on this.

I think I'm getting in over my head. Although I've dabbled in simple programming for many years, I'm not a developer nor an IT professional. (I'm a retired technical writer.) Mikeyww, I tested both of your latest code examples, and you are correct: they both return English regardless of which keyboard is active. I don't quite understand that. When the Greek keyboard is active, I can switch to any application in any window, and continue to type in Greek. (I do that often unintentionally!) So the active keyboard seems to be a system-wide setting, rather than a local one.

I did run across this document (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.globalization.language.currentinputmethodlanguagetag?view=winrt-19041), and it seems like this function might do what I want, but I don't know how to implement it in an AHK script. It also says that it applies to "WinRT," and I'm not sure if that is relevant to Windows 10, which I am using.

My AHK script assigns some macros to the grave/tilde key to make it easier to type accents and other diacritical marks used in polytonic Greek. The keystrokes for typing such characters in the standard Windows Polytonic Greek keyboard layout are quite cumbersome by comparison. This much works fine for me. The problem is that when I want to actually type a grave accent or a tilde in an English context (which I've been doing quite a bit over the past week or so), I have to go the Character Map application to get those characters. So I was hoping that my AHK script could easily determine if I'm typing in English or Greek and either run the macros or return the default characters for that key accordingly. That seems to be much more complicated than I thought it would be. I'm not sure that continuing along these lines is worth the effort.

Thank you very much for your time and suggestions!

Interesting. My KB changes by window or program (I'm not sure which).

Here's more info, but I'm not sure how to translate it into AHK.

I don't think the problem was setting the keyboard; it was getting it.

Yes, mikeyww, this does work! I'm not sure how, but it does, and I'm happy. I modified it to fit in my existing macros. Thank you so much for your time and effort!

If you don't need to get the language of the console window (cmd.exe), you can do it like this:

Code: Select all

F11:: MsgBox % GetInputLangName( GetInputLangID(WinExist("A")) )
 
GetInputLangID(hWnd) {
   threadId := DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", "Ptr", hWnd, "UInt", 0)
   lyt := DllCall("GetKeyboardLayout", "Ptr", threadId, "UInt")
   return langID := Format("{:#x}", lyt & 0x3FFF)
}
 
GetInputLangName(langId)  {
   static LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE := 0x1001
   charCount := DllCall("GetLocaleInfo", "UInt", langId, "UInt", LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0)
   VarSetCapacity(localeSig, size := charCount << !!A_IsUnicode, 0)
   DllCall("GetLocaleInfo", "UInt", langId, "UInt", LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, "Str", localeSig, "UInt", size)
   return localeSig
}

Re: Running scripts only when a specific language is active

Your code is not right - (focused controls + controls running from ApplicationFrameHost.exe).
You can do it like this:

Code: Select all

F11::MsgBox, % GetInputLangName(GetLayout())

GetLayout()
{
   static uia
   if !uia
      uia := UIA_Interface()
   DetectHiddenWindows, on
   GetFocusedElement := uia.GetFocusedElement()
   pid := GetFocusedElement.CurrentProcessId
   ControlGetFocus, FocusedControl, ahk_pid %pid%
   ControlGet, Hwnd, Hwnd,, %FocusedControl%, ahk_pid %pid%
   ThreadID := DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", "Ptr", hWnd, "UInt", 0)
   InputLocaleID := DllCall("GetKeyboardLayout", "Ptr", ThreadID, "UInt")
   return langID := Format("{:#x}", InputLocaleID & 0x3FFF)
}


GetInputLangName(langId)  {
   static LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE := 0x1001
   charCount := DllCall("GetLocaleInfo", "UInt", langId, "UInt", LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0)
   VarSetCapacity(localeSig, size := charCount << !!A_IsUnicode, 0)
   DllCall("GetLocaleInfo", "UInt", langId, "UInt", LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, "Str", localeSig, "UInt", size)
   return localeSig
}

/* Questions:
	- better way to do __properties?
	- support for Constants?
	- if method returns a SafeArray, should we return a Wrapped SafeArray, Raw SafeArray, or AHK Array
	- on UIA Interface conversion methods, how should the data be returned? wrapped/extracted or raw? should raw data be a ByRef param?
	- do variants need cleared? what about SysAllocString BSTRs?
	- do RECT struts need destroyed?
	- if returning wrapped data & raw is ByRef, will the wrapped data being released destroy the raw data?
	- returning varaint data other than vt=3|8|9|13|0x2000
	- Cached Members?
	- UIA Element existance - dependent on window being visible (non minimized)?
	- function(params, ByRef out="……")

You are right, but your code doesn't work for me either, tried with the calculator window on Windows 10.

Now it works somehow, but actually it's incorrect, it doesn't get the focused control, try

Code: Select all

...
   pid := GetFocusedElement.CurrentProcessId
   ControlGetFocus, FocusedControl, ahk_pid %pid%
   MsgBox, % FocusedControl
...
However, this works also:

Code: Select all

F11:: MsgBox % GetInputLangName( GetInputLangID(WinExist("A")) )
 
GetInputLangID(hWnd) {
   WinGet, processName, ProcessName, ahk_id %hWnd%
   if (processName = "ApplicationFrameHost.exe") {
      WinGet, PID, PID, ahk_id %hWnd%
      WinGet, controlList, controlListHwnd, ahk_id %hWnd%
      Loop, parse, controlList, `n
         DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", "Ptr", A_LoopField, "UIntP", childPID)
      until childPID != PID
      dhw_prev := A_DetectHiddenWindows
      DetectHiddenWindows, On
      hWnd := WinExist("ahk_pid" . childPID)
      DetectHiddenWindows, % dhw_prev
   }
   threadId := DllCall("GetWindowThreadProcessId", "Ptr", hWnd, "UInt", 0)
   lyt := DllCall("GetKeyboardLayout", "Ptr", threadId, "UInt")
   return langID := Format("{:#x}", lyt & 0x3FFF)
}
 
GetInputLangName(langId)  {
   static LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE := 0x1001
   charCount := DllCall("GetLocaleInfo", "UInt", langId, "UInt", LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0)
   VarSetCapacity(localeSig, size := charCount << !!A_IsUnicode, 0)
   DllCall("GetLocaleInfo", "UInt", langId, "UInt", LOCALE_SENGLANGUAGE, "Str", localeSig, "UInt", size)
   return localeSig
}
