You don't say what you have done, so ..

1. Try pressing Left-Alt+Shift to switch keyboard
2. If that fails, show the language bar and click on the name of the current
keyboard which says, perhaps, "English (United Kingdom)" to get a dropdown
of available keyboards and select the one you want.

Enjoy,
Tony
