how to activate alternative keyboard layouts on kubuntu?

[Kurtis Brown]

   -

   Choose: K-Menu->System Settings->Regional & Accessibility->Keyboard
   Layout
   -

   In the *Layout* tab, check the *Enable Keyboard Layouts* box.
   -

   Choose the country in which the keyboard layout you want is used, and
   click *Add*. The country should appear in the*Active Layouts* list.
   -

   Click the country in the *Active Layouts* list, and choose the
   appropriate *Layout variant* for the country selected. This is important
   for countries where more than one language are commonly spoken.
   -

   Click on *Apply* to save your settings.
   -

   A *flag icon* should now appear in the system tray showing the current
   keyboard layout being used. Click the *flag icon* to switch to the other
   keyboard layout.
