add a placeholder to the search bar with an indication of the search language

Add a placeholder to the search bar PowerToys Run with an indication of the search language.

Could you please explain in which use cases this is used? Before we start thinking about a feature implementation we need to understand why the users need this.

[KiloKot]

When I run Power Toys Run (Alt + Space), I usually start typing immediately what I want to find. Sometimes it turns out that at this moment I have a language different from the one in which I want to find something. If there is a placeholder with the language specified in the search bar, it will be more convenient to understand whether it is necessary to switch the language.

Yes, the current language can be seen in the taskbar, but sometimes it is hidden. It is also inconvenient to look first at the taskbar to understand which language is currently installed and then return to the set in the Power Toys Run line.

Doesn't the placeholder text already give an indication of the language? ("Type to search"

[KiloKot]

No, the current system language does not change the placeholder in the search bar.

For example screen shows current language English and placeholder in Russian. Second screen current language Russian and placeholder in Russian.

[KiloKot]

Sorry, I didn't immediately understand what you mean. If the placeholder text changes in accordance with the current language of the system, then yes, this will be enough to determine the language in which I will start typing text in the search bar.

We show labels according to the system languge. If you change input language it doesn't affect application labels. Adding it to the Post stabilization milestone.
