On-the-fly language support is an area where Windows GREATLY surpasses Linux. You can change keyboard languages with Shift-Ctrl and have the language change for only one application.
When I am programming, I do 100% of my work in English. When I am doing any kind of writing, I work about 40% of the time in French and about 60% of the time in English. The ability to switch on the fly is critical for me.
On Linux, I am constantly changing languages because I cannot do it on the fly (or I don't know how) and I cannot do it on a per-application basis. At times it becomes a real hassle.

I'm hoping this tool will bridge that gap a bit.
