I use Alt + Shift to change the language. It is so normal and I have worked with that for a long time. But some days some thing have happen for me. That is Alt + Shift not work all times. For example I can use it on libreOffice to change the language and also on browses. But on some application it does not work. I do not know why.

For example on Taskque software, when I want to add my own task and change the language, Alt+Shift doesn't work.

Perhaps this will help...

Open a terminal and run:

gksu gedit /etc/default/keyboard

(or use some other text editor)

Do following changes in the file:

XKBLAYOUT="de,us"

XKBVARIANT=""

XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle"

(Replace de,us with your languages)

Restart and try again.
