I'm trying to toggle windows language between Arabic and English

For the Left Shift + Alt, it works fine

But for the Right Shift + Alt it toggles if it's English to Arabic

But never toggles back to anything unless using Left Shift + ALT

How to make right Shift + ALT works just as the left ?

To make Right Shift + Alt toggle between Arabic and English, follow these steps:

  1. Check language settings and keyboard layouts in the control panel.
  2. Confirm keyboard shortcut settings for language switching.
  3. Verify regional settings align with language preferences.
  4. If needed, edit the registry (be cautious) at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current Control Set\Services\i8042prt\Parameters:
    • Create a String Value named Layer Driver JPN.
    • Set the value to kbd101.dll for English and kbd101a.dll for Arabic.
  5. Restart your computer after making changes.
