Description of the new feature / enhancement

For all people having multiple keyboard layouts there is problem when user is typing something in one language meaning to use different language. I suggest adding auto-transliteration (hope that what its called). All browsers do that and this is very convienent.

What i mean by that: Sometimes i need to launch Word using Run. I start typing "word" but because layut is wrong in search field will appear цщкв, and i wont get any results: image

Example in firefox: image In google: image

Scenario when this would be used?

This will make using run faster as user will not have to worry what layout is currently on. And will be usefull for any non-english countries which there are planty of.

Yes, please :) something like "Multilanguage text suggestions" in Windows 11 Settings would be super great :)
