You have to go to Dash and select "Text Entry" as shown in the picture below

Then you have to press + button to add your preferred languages.

In Language Support you can change the display language. The place to control the input language is System Settings -> Text Entry.

They are grayed out below English, because everything is available in English.

The drag and drop is the ordering in which a language is used. So you can display everything available in Irish, the remaining in German and everything that isn't available in German in English finally - or sth similar.
