additional language keyboard in bodhi 5.0

Newbie to bodhi
I am attempting to add a Hebrew keyboard to my laptop which is running bodhi 5.0 in english.
I don't want to change the entire os just want to be able to type in Hebrew.
I installed the Hebrew package and Hebrew shows up as a language now.
I can't figure out how to toggle between hebrew and english from the keyboard and which input system to use to do it. Do I need IBUS?
Thanks

Hello

You can do that easily

In main-settings-modules just load the keyboard module. The gadget with question mark will appear. Click on that and add the layouts you want to switch between. Than you can switch on the flag gadget on the shelf with mouse or set upt the keyboard shortcut in module settings.
Good luck

thanks.
I got the flag on my shelf now and can click on it.
Keyboard shortcut is refusing to work.
I key in the shortcut I want to use but nothing happens.;}
I'll keep trying.
Appreciate your help.

Try the first section in settings and ALT SHIFT works fine for me...
