How to install, select and use different keyboard layouts of the same language in Lubuntu?

• In order to install different languages that are to be used by the system, Lubuntu has the Ubuntu Default Language Manager.

This should be easily accessed through the Preferences>Language Support. Check here to see if the application is installed.

/usr/bin/gnome-language-selector

Chosen Language

Regional Support

If you do not see nor can confirm the application is installed then open a terminal and install it by using the following command sudo apt-get install language-selector-gnome

Once installed you will have access to all the major Language/Regional formats

• In order to chose between different types of keyboard for the same language -

  Be sure Keyboard Layout Handler is visible in the LXPanel. If not, right click on the lxpanel, "Add/remove panel items" and add it. Then edit it. If it is already visible, right click on it and select "Keyboard Layout Handler" Settings.

Then click "Add"

*Another alternative would be KDE

sudo apt-get install language-selector-kde

I would advise you that this also brings a lot of other (maybe unwanted) dependencies.
