Research direction

Start by locating the Windows keyboard-language implementation; no file or test is named in the issue. Review the CurrentInputMethodLanguageTag WinRT API and compare it with the library’s existing hex-identifier conversion. Done means determining whether the API can replace that conversion without breaking the cross-platform interface.

Description

Thanks for this library, it makes cross platform keyboard stuff a lot easier.

I was wondering if it's possible to switch to CurrentInputMethodLanguageTag. It's a little painful to write the conversion from the hex identifiers.

Is there anything holding back from using this API? I'm not too familiar with the WinRT API's. Thanks!
