russian keyboard ubuntu shows english text

Question

I switched to Russian keyboard, but when I type it still displays English words. I tried this solution https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-add-and-switch-keyboard-layout-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux but this does not seem to work.

How to change source input to Russian?

I am using Ubuntu for many years and never met this problem. It is very unclear what happened. If you install Russian keyboard layout, you can always switch to Russian or English by hotkeys or language selector. — Pilot6, Aug 12 '19 at 08:09

as described here: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-add-and-switch-keyboard-layout-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux — Nurseyit Tursunkulov, Aug 12 '19 at 08:14
It it is described how to INSTALL Russian layout, but that doesn't immidiately switches to Russian. Hotkey depends on your system, Default is Alt+Shift, or Super+Space. You can also switch by mouse on top of your screen. — Pilot6, Aug 12 '19 at 08:16
Then something is wrong with your system. It is impossible to guess. Try to reboot. — Pilot6, Aug 12 '19 at 08:25
