    The navigation to change the keyboard input language in vanilla Ubuntu is Settings -> Keyboard → Input Sources -> + instead of Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Manage Installed Languages -> + Click the three vertical dots ⋮ (vertical ellipsis) to show the rest of the input languages.

    Depending on your Ubuntu version it may be either Region & Language as shown in your screenshot or Keyboard as it is in later versions of Ubuntu (just in case you upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu).

    Manage Installed Languages is optional. Only click this if you want to install translation packs for the chosen new input language.
