you can create a keybinding in xbindkeys which will run a script to change your layout between English and Persian.

simply add

tint2 &

in your ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh file.

i add this line
<keybind key="A-S-e">
<action name="Execute">
<command>setxkbmap us</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-S-d">
<action name="Execute">
<command>setxkbmap de</command>
</action>
</keybind>
to rc.xml file but i don't know why anything no change?
i don't know where line should add tint 2 & in autostart.sh???????????/

you would have to run the setxkbmap in a terminal. That's why I told you to create a script and then make it executable and run the script directly.

As for the autostarting of tint2 -- I already told you which file it needs to go into..I am not quite sure what you mean by where to add the line.
