How To Enable Multiple Language Keyboard Layouts In Gnome3

 

 

If you need to be able to write in different languages you can quickly switch between multiple keyboard layouts in Gnome 3. 

 

Open System settings

 

 

 

 

 

Select Region and Language

 

 

 

 

 

Click on Layouts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select Allow different layouts for individual windows

 

 

 

 

 

Click on the + (add) icon

 

 

 

 

 

Select the language by highlighting it and clicking the Add button.

 

 

 

 

 

You should notice a en in the top right corner of your screen. 

 

 

 

 

 

Now just open the application that you would like to write in.  In this example I am using Libreoffice

 

 

 

 

 

Click on en option located in the upper right corner and select the language you would like to write in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You should be ready to start typing away. 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have a US-en keyboard like I do you can purchase little stickers to go on your keyboard so you know what characters go with what key.  They usually cost any where from $0.88 to $10.
