I have it setup in this example to be Docked in the taskbar which allows me to display in on-screen as a floating option or return it to the taskbar when not needed.

The other options should be set as indicated in the checkboxes until you have worked with the Language Bar for a while and have a feel for how it behaves.

This is where you configure the keystrokes that will allow you to switch between the language layouts.

The Hot keys for input languages option is where the hot key sequence is established.

Separate keystrokes can be configured to select directly the language invoked.

Unless you wishneed to have multiple Greek or English keyboards (ex: US English QWERTY and Dvorak keyboards) you need not change this setting.

Verify that your keystroke combination is displayed on this list.
