KLay

KLay - Keyboard Layout Keeper for multilingual instant messaging.
It's a software tool that makes life easier for those who, like me, chat with different people in different languages. More specifically, in languages that use different writing systems, and therefore different keyboard layouts. Whenever you switch from one conversation to another, you have to switch the keyboard layout accordingly. KLay solves this issue. It makes conversation windows keep their layouts as you switch back and forth.
