Windows OCR, add an input gesture to quickly switch between OCR languages. #13036

Description

@mzanm

When using Windows OCR, it does not support automatic language detection, so when switching between some programs or documents that are in another language, OCR language has to be changed manually via NVDA settings which takes some time.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

No.

Describe the solution you'd like

Simply adding a gesture that switches between the available OCR language will work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm not sure if Windows OCR can automatically detect the language in the image, but if it can that would be a lot better.
