I have Ubuntu 18.04. I cannot change my keyboard language. When I try with shortcut, nothing going on. When I try with clicking on the language and change it, the icon of the language changes, but when I writing the language is still English. I have only 2 languages - Bulgarian and English. I cannot switch to Bulgarian. Before 2-3 weeks everything worked fine, but now when turn on my laptop it doesn't work. I don't know what caused this. If you have some questions do not hesitate to ask.

Edit: Actually I notice that even shortcuts for opening terminal does not work, so maybe there is some global problem with the shortcuts.

Thanks in advance.

  • What is your desktop environment? What is keyboard layout switching shortcut? Where did you set it? How many keyboard layouts do you have? – N0rbert Jul 31 '18 at 09:51

  • If you use GNOME, you need to use GNOME Tweaks to set <Alt+Shift>. See this answer. – N0rbert Aug 02 '18 at 08:20

I had the same problem. The following steps fixed the issue for me:

  • Go to Settings -> Region & Language
  • Temporarily remove all other keyboard layouts, just leave Bulgarian.
  • Try writing something - now you should see Bulgarian characters
  • Finally, re-add the other keyboard layouts (English US in my case) and reorder them to suit your liking.
