OopsWrongLang

Features

• Converts selected text between English and Persian keyboard layouts.
• Runs in the background with a system tray icon.

How it Works

The application runs in the background and monitors for a specific keyboard shortcut. When you press the shortcut, it does the following:

1. Copies the currently selected text to the clipboard.
2. Converts the text to the other keyboard layout (e.g., English to Persian).
3. Pastes the converted text, replacing your selection.
