An option to select the last written text, identify the language and paste the opposite language.

For example, I start to written in Hebrew an English word or sentence: עםםעךק דקשרבי google search attached it single keystroke that identify the language by the regex or characters (hebrewRegex = /[\u0590-\u05FF]/) then after identify the language it will use the existing functions to switch the language usinge simple if statement.

Optional (using ⌘+⇧+← or ⌘ + A to select the relevant text in the command can be change in raycast menu).

@DanSega1 what do you think should happen to a mixed string?

[DanSega1]

I think there is 2 method:

1. you can take the copied text as one string, put it in a function to identify the language and (Hebrew or Latin in this case) and then choose with if statement is need to go to Hebrew → Latin or Latin → Hebrew. I think this is the easiest to apply because most of the time you fix it after you typed and check the screen.

2. separate each letter and identify the language and change it letter by letter, it will take longer to process, but will have better result in case of mixed string. I think this way can be a flag for a niche user base, also can be checked before all the process if the string is mixed.

I created a python function you can check for reference, I'm not familiar with JavaScript and typescript.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import re

def detect_language(text):
    # hebrew Unicode range
    hebrew_pattern = re.compile(r'[\u0590-\u05FF]')
    
    # check for hebrew characters
    if hebrew_pattern.search(text):
        print("hebrew")
    else:
        print("latin")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # read input text from standard input
    input_text = sys.stdin.read()
    detect_language(input_text)

the code identify strings by the letters in Unicode range: 0590–05FF.
