Hi Israel,

I thought the input method would do something that a language selector does.

These two packages helped me install Swedisk language.

language-pack-sv language-selector-gnome

I am still missing something, because I have to switch the keyboard
manually with

setxkbmap se

The Swedish language pack can also be installed via the program

gnome-language-selector

and moved to the top position (above English). After reboot it will be
the first choice language. See the attached picture.

$ paipr gnome-language-selector
gnome-language-selector  is installed as a program in system PATH
package: /path/name
language-selector-gnome: /usr/bin/gnome-language-selector

Best regards
Nio
