Language indicator doesn't show current language

Solution 1:

I'm guessing you are using ibus from the details you give.

To get your languages shown at the bottom, you need to change some settings.

Click on the language indicator and follow this video: Enabling Ibus Language Panel

(If you cannot see the video clearly: Click the ibus indicator, click preferences, and enable "Show Language Panel > When Active")

NB you might have to restart ibus after this. To do that click the icon and click restart in the menu
