Public bug reported:

bq e4.5 OTA-12
To change the layout/language of the keyboard you have to tap the globe icon or, if you have more than 2 layouts, long-press that icon. 
In my opinion the better solution would be to use the space bar for changing languages/layouts. You would just swipe the space bar right or left to do that. Please see how android phones do that (Samsung at least) There's language name and arrows to indicate you can switch to other language ( like on this photo: http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/samsung-galaxy-s4-review-043-640x426.jpg ) On Ubuntu we already have the language name on the space bar :)
