How can I type Persian and English in Ubuntu 12.10?

And how can I switch between these two languages like Windows (Alt+Shift)?

  • Do the Persian language have different characters than English, or it only differs on the structure? – Lucio Apr 01 '13 at 18:58

    It seems to me that the answers given to [this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/68127/how-to-switch-language-keyboard-combination?) might help you, once you have installed farsi language support _and_ keyboard layout. – carnendil Apr 01 '13 at 19:03
