Workflow to change keyboard layout of typed text

[morav 0]

Is there any workflow that can change keyboard layout of typed text? For example if I typed "ghbdtn" and want to convert to russian keyboard layout "привет" (hi).

This topic is also interesting to me!

 

Мorav, have you found a solution?

AFAIK, that workflow doesn't exist.

 

It should be simple to make, however, as Alfred can do the hard part for you by grabbing the currently selected text.

 

Basically, you just need a simple script that knows which characters from Latin and Cyrillic layouts are on the same keys. It replaces the Latin/Cyrillic with its counterpart and then Alfred pastes the result back into your application.
