If you are a GNOME user:
1. Right click your mouse on the TASK Bar

2. From the drop menu select ¨Add to Panel¨

3. From the drop menu select ¨Utility¨

4. Then select ¨Keyboard Indicator¨

Having done that, you will find a [USA] key on your task bar. The next series of steps will add the ARABIC Language to your Indicator:

1. Right click your mouse on [USA]

2. Open [Keyboard Preferences]

3. Open third tab [Layouts]

4. Pick up [Arabic] and [Add]

5. Go to tab # 4
[layout options]

6. Click on the black triangle left to [Group Shift / Lock behaviour]

7. Select [Alt + Shift Changes Group]

8. Close

.........and there you are
