Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
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:
- Check language settings and keyboard layouts in the control panel.
- Confirm keyboard shortcut settings for language switching.
- Verify regional settings align with language preferences.
- 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.
- Restart your computer after making changes.
