Description of problem:
I have some thoughts on improving UI for iok, particularly for the use case on
non-Indic language.

1) Get rid of "English" entry from the language list.

  That is meaningless to keep it there since "to English" button is available.

2) should keep the same state to the initial state after clicking "to English"
button.

  I think the initial state would be natural. I mean selecting the language
from ASCII layout (English mode) since the neutral position is ASCII layout on
other IM. however once selecting the language from the list and switch back to
English mode with "to English" button, iok masks the language list. one needs
to switch with "To <language" button to choose other language from the list.
this behavior isn't consistent to the initial state and other IM. there are IM
that supports to switch multiple IME regardless of current state though, if you
want to provide such features, you should simply stop masking the language
list.

3) maybe "to ASCII" is better than "to English"?

  I like to see the icon to indicate the state of "on" and "off" with the icon
though, if you want to keep the string, guess that would be better using
"ASCII" instead of "English".

4) selected the language from the list should keeps it default in next time

5) entries in the language list should be translatable

  Since it's hidden when running iok on any Indic locale, that should appears
in the native language on current desktop. that would be helpful for those who
wants to learn Indic but running iok on their locale.

6) simplify the language list like the IME list on ibus

  there are too many entries on the language list. that would be nice to
simplify like ibus does.
