I am trying to type in Arabic as well as in English. I set up the Arabic keyboard using the following steps:

Settings -> Region & Language -> + -> Arabic

I also added Arabic (QWERTY) just to check.

After doing that I get the little switcher on the top right. The problem is when I switch the language it keeps typing in English. Anyone know what is going on? I am very confused!

It is probably a bug from GNOME, I don't know, but restarting GNOME works. (You won't lose your open apps or the arrangement in virtual desktops.)

Press Alt+F2 and then write r and then press Enter.
