No keyboard/language indicator.

There is no keyboard or language indicator on the top panel at the right side corner.
I use US English and Greek keyboard and I have a serious problem in changing languages.
Thank you
There should be if you have both keyboards showing in the System Settings, can you take a screenshot of the Keyboard section of the System Settings to make sure that it's correctly set?
Not him, but I can also confirm this issue on odin:
If I added three layouts the indicator appears but there are only two layouts shown:
I think the problem is that the indicator ignores any input method that uses ibus.
Hmm, I don't think it is the cause of this issue. The indicator ignores ibus sources for a long time but I didn't face this issue before.
I have the same issue, however, in my case the indicator doesn't show even if I add both English (UK) and English (US) keyboard layouts as shown in the picture above.
So, when i was adding some layouts to see if they appear and, for no reason, it changed one of the xkb layouts to ibus. But i can't reproduce it anymore.
here, it's was to be ('xkb', 'br') and was before i added the english layout.
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
[('ibus', 'br'), ('ibus', 'jp'), ('xkb', 'us')]
So, this appears to be due to three issues in combination:
- The indicator does not show if there is only one visible layout
- Only xkb sources are visible
- Under some circumstances xkb sources get saved in the settings as ibus sources.
I am working on some related PRs and will try to fix this there.
A workround is to remove all keyboard layouts and re-add, but a recent change to the switchboard-plug-keyboard (master) prevents this so you have to use dconf-editor to change org.gnome.desktop.input-sources.sources

This workaround seems to have fixed the issue for me, the indicator shows now, thank you.
Note: I could only reproduce this when I had an ibus engine installed.
