  • LanguageBar

    A string that reports the language bar mode and type. Possible values are the following:

    --IsLegacySwitchingMode. When this setting is set to true, the current input method (keyboard layout or input method editor (IME)) is selected for the current application only. When new applications start, the default input method is selected (see Get-WinDefaultInputMethodOverride).
