Input source (input language) changes incorrectly

Snow Leopard finally has this beautiful feature to save the input source state for every application! I've missed this very much. But... It doesn't work for me correctly.
The problem:
SnowLeo doesn't remember the input source for every application and changes randomly. Here's example: I'm opening Safari, Mail and TextEdit (all native Leo apps), writing in English in Safari + Mail and in Bulgarian in TextEdit. When switching applications the input language doesn't stay the same - after TexEdit , Safari must stay with English, but I'm writing in Bulgarian. And so on.
What I've tried:
As I said, this happens totally random, I've spent a LOT of time trying to find out some logical pattern or something, but with no luck. I tried to switch languages with mouse only, to disable the keyboard shortcut, to change the language (I've tried Canadian I think), to use different applications, to quit (almost) every process, different account an even different MacOS install on a external USB HDD!!! Funny, but on the fresh installed OS I had the same bug for 10-15 min. and then (after the same tests as before) it somehow disappeared (I think). The same was with the different account on my original HDD - the first time the problem was here, then it just wasn't here. TOTALLY unusual and with no logic at all!!!
I have some friends with Macs and everyone of us is using English and Bulgarian input layouts. And Nobody has a problem except me!
I have 15 years of computer experience (3 of them with Macs) and I'm working as a System administrator, so it's natural for me to troubleshoot all kind of problems, but after month I gave up on this!
The MacMini and the MacOS are both legal with nothing strange connected.

I use 2 keyboard layouts : canadian french for most of my applications (Pages, Microsoft Word, etc) and US English for Photoshop because most Photoshop keyboard shortcuts don't work in canadian french.
The problem is that even if I set Photoshop to US english, it reverts to Canadian French. It usually happens when I switch applications or hide Photoshop and bring it back up again. It is very annoying and the only way I found to stop this, is to turn off "Allow a different one for each document" in the Input Sources preferences pane. I thought the purpose of this option was to assign a different input source or keyboard layout to different applications.

In OS X, if you want to use a French keyboard layout, go to system preferences/international/input menu and check the box for French, plus the box for "show input menu in finder." Then select French in the "flag" menu at the top right of the finder and type away.
To see which key does what, use Keyboard Viewer, activated just like a keyboard layout.
However, you don't need to do this to type French, Spanish, German, etc., because the US keyboard layout can also do it. Here is a list of how to make accented letters:

How to restore the languages in the input sources under 'Language and Text'

Dear all,
Recently, I am trying to free up my disk space on my macbook and I downloaded this software call Monolingual. Basically, it removes languages that you do not use to free up the disk space.
However, I accidentally remove the language that I use which is Japanese and now it seems like I cannot find it anywhere under the input sources of language and text.
Does anybody know how I can restore everything back to normal?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Alfred

I think you will have to reinstall your OS. If you are running Yosemite, see
OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X
Best to avoid Monolingual and simlar "cleaning" utilties if possible, it is too easy to make mistakes that destroy parts of you system.
Your problem has nothing to do with your hardware, so in the futue it would be best to use the software forums for similar questions:

Is there a way to permanently change the input language in the login screen?

Whenever I start my iMac with Mavericks, after the boot is complete and the login window appears, I have the change the language in the top right corner from US to DE, else I can't type in my password. Mavericks does not remember this setting, next time after startup I have to do it again. The original owner of this Mac was using US as input language, so I guess that's where it's coming from. This extra step of changign language only takes a few seconds, but many times I forget it and try to enter my password but it will not work. There must be a console command or somethign that can fix this? Thank you!

I managed to find the solution myself. If anyone is interested, just follow those steps here:

How to change the input language ?

Hello,
I am writing an Add-on that needs to change the input language when the user
clicks on the Item Code field ("5") in the "Item Master Data" form.
I can perform the change when I am out side of the SAP application (for example if I create a Windows Form), however I cannot control the input language of the SAP itself through code.
I even tried using Application.Sendkeys, however I was unable to send a combination of ALT+SHIFT, or at least it did not have any affect
Here is the code on how to change the input language on a Windows Form:
For Each Lng As system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage In system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages
   sValue = Lng.Culture.DisplayName.ToUpper()
   If sValue.StartsWith("ENGLISH") Then
                    system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = Lng
                    Exit For
    End If
Next
Any ideas ?

I am not sure I understand the problem. Anyway in B1 you change the language by
changing it from the Administration module. This raises a Application event that
is sent to all the add-ons. The event is aet_LanguageChanged and you should
then change the language handled by your add-on when you receive it.

How to change System Key Board Default input language(registry entry) using c# code

Hi All
Please help me to write a small console application which helps to change keyBoard default input language in registry using c# code (Manually we can change as follows: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Region and Language\ KeyBoards and languages\Change
KeyBoards\Default Input Language)
Note: once system rebooted, English language should not be selected by default. Previously selected language has to be retained after system rebooting

Can Firefox guess the input language being used and change spelling dictionaries automatically?

I have three input languages and their dictionaries enabled in Firefox. However, when I start typing in Spanish, the whole text will be underlined as having spelling mistakes because if the dictionary is set to English. I am constantly writing in either English, Spanish, and/or French, and find it annoying to have to change the dictionary manually. Is there a way that Firefox can detect the input language being used and change the dictionary automatically?

E72 - Change Input Language Shortcut

Hi All,
Is there any shortcut to change input language through the keypad insted of getting into the differnt manue levels?
Regards,
wmomran.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem but found the solutaion by chance.
1. On the lowest row of keys push the second one on the left (arrow upward). It is "Shift" if I am not mistaken.
2. Immidiately after press nearest key to the right "Sym" (not simulteneously)
Window with languages should pop up.
Those who have had experience with E-71 know, that this function is available when you have opened a new sms or e-mail. But it does not work in an ordinary waiting mode.
Regards,
Alexander

How change keyboard input language?

hi,
i am working on Windowx XP and for multiple language input support i am using the windows language bar.
How can i change the input language through the java itself.
i try this code but it not working
this.jTextField1.getInputContext().selectInputMethod(Locale.CHINESE)give me some advise..

Does selectInputMethod return true?
Did you try setting the Character Subset?
Does your OS support Chinese (I know it's a silly question)?
Did you try playing with jTextField1.enableInputMethods, revalidating the component, etc..?

Change keyboard input language without changing spotlight shortcut

I have bought a macbook air recently and installed a second input language. Instead of changing the input language manually each time I want to have a shortcut but the system seems to have only one option which is the "command+space" shortcut, the one for spotlight. This means that I can not have them both at the same time. Help please!

I am trying but i only get to check/uncheck "command+space" on both of them. My question is how to do it manually?

Language input constantly changing

I don't know exactly what happened (might have been an accidental button combination) but a few moments ago my Mac has decided to randomly change to any of the three input languages I curently have (the little flag in the menu bar). Any reason why? And perhaps, any solution to this weird situation?
Thanks.

Interesting; spotlight is F2 for me.
Incidentally, to post your screenshot here, click on the camera icon in the message toolbar.

Opening terminal with applescript - changes default input language....

When I try to use Applescript to open terminal, it opens it but changes the input language to Japanese, so anything that I attempt to feed into terminal via applescript turns into nonsense Japanese. (The default language is English and kotoeri is set to romaji/roman alphabet by default)
How do i stop this?
Thanks

Since my snow leopard MBP can't handle smb mounts, I've resorted to using sharity, except that its gui crashes the instant I try to mount a drive. But I can mount samba shares using sharity from the command line. I'd like to have it mount on startup which is supposedly something sharity can accomplish from its gui but since that doesn't work I would like to write an applescript and add it to the login items. I haven't been able mount it using do shell script as the sharity command line, unlike the normal samba mount command) doesn't seem to have an option of entering the password, so the mount fails:
sharity mount smb://user@address/folder
I thought if I open terminal via applescipt, then have it 'type' the command followed by a delay, then type the password, I could get around it but when I open terminal in applescipt, it starts in Japanese:
activate application terminal
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "sharity mount smb://user@address/folder"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"
delay 2
tell application "Terminal"
quit
end tell
This almost does what I want it to but the input language has flipped to Japanese and sharityもうんtsmb：//Sトラゲ-0165/けいthぱっすぉrd
is the result
Basically its all because of the samba bug in snow leopard (which I reported to apple and they confirmed its the same issue they know about)

How to change the application (MIDlet) input language at MIDlet run-time?

Hi,
I am working on a Messaging (SMS) J2ME MIDlet where it is required to change the input language for a TextField/Area at run-time.
For example if default handset language is set to Chinese, during MIDlet execution time the textfield language (locale) should be changed to Arabic/Spanish/French. Here I understand that provided the required languages are supported on handset, one can change them from handset settings.
Can anyone help me out with changing the microedition.locale to zh_CN from en_US?
Thanks
