chrome.input.ime - Switch between languages

Question

I am creating an application which supports multiple regional languages using "Google Input Tool" chrome extension.
can I switch between input languages on "onfocus()" event of an element?

I have searched on the net and come across "chrome.input.ime" but don't know how to manage it with JavaScript

I found Extension ID "mclkkofklkfljcocdinagocijmpgbhab"

and need something to do like chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ up: 1 });

Can anyone help?

chrome.input.ime allows you to implement a new input method on Chrome OS only. So it's not what you seek.

It does not seem like you can control the GIT extension from your code.

You suggest messaging the extension; however, it does not listen to any external messaging events - I have explicitly verified that. So it wouldn't work.
