Keyboard Language Resets to Default on Windows

Problem

In Windows, I have set a specific language for my keyboard and while using Oxygen XML Author, it keeps getting reset to the default language.

Cause

When multiple languages are enabled in Windows, the default shortcut key combination for switching the input language is Left Alt + Shift. Trying to use various shortcuts in Oxygen XML Author that involves combinations of those two keys is probably resetting your input language to the default setting if you press those two keys without a third combination.

Solution

You can change the Windows shortcut keys that are assigned to the input language by going to the control panel and searching for the Switch input languages option. For example, in Windows, go to Control Panel > Language > Advanced Setting. In the Switching input methods section, click on Change language bar hot keys. Click the Change Key Sequence button. This opens a dialog box that allows you to switch the shortcut keys for the input language or keyboard layout.
