Thanks much, Jonathan, I do appreciate for your help. I took my macbook to Genius bar and he finished up the process that I left unfinished. I had him add four Arabic keyboards along with English one. It was so noisy in the store that I could not check the affects of the changes. When I came home, I realized that I could switch the keyboard on the fly but certain keyboards of Arabic were not recognized by Voiceover, I mean Voiceover did not read them. I felt like I have lost the English keyboard.
So, This morning, I have removed the additional Arabic keyboard and kept just one. Now my life is at ease and everything is hunky-dorry! Ctrl-space toggles the keyboard, English-Arabic and vise versa and no fuss! *smile*. Thanks again.

Hello, You indicated that you were unable to finish. I expect what you are saying was that you could not find something in the instructions and not that you ran out of time. When you are in the input area of system preferences that we have been discussing, are you having issues navigating the table of input types? One thing that does get confusing on this page is that a HTML representation of the keyboard layout is presented and this is very difficult to navigate if you are using VoiceOver. Although email is hard to have interactive discussions, perhaps if you let us know where you are getting stuck, we can find work arounds so you can get everything set up the way you want.

The Genius bar told me that Arabic keyboars are already there. I said yes I tried to add it but could not finish it. So he fixed it and told me how to switch the keyboard. Now, I guess, I can not do anything because English keyboard is not available. Thanks!

Here is some text I sent you last week via this list. I guess you didn't read it. Oh, and by the way 1. Open System Preferences 2. Open the view menu and select keyboard 3. Press the Input Sources button 4. Press the add button 5. Select "Arabic" from the list that comes up. 6. Check the checkbox to display language input in the menu bar. 7. There will now be a bunch of options discussing Left to Right and Right to Left text, you will probably need to change the shortcuts listed here but I don't understand them. I would think that just selecting the appropriate language input from the language menu would be all that you need.

Yesterday, I took my MacBookPro2017 to Genius Bar in the nearby Apple Store because I want Arabic Keyboard. He added three Arabic keyboard so I can use whichever I like. He told me that I could switch the keyboard on the fly by hitting ctrl-space. So, the problem is now that ctrl-space changes keyboard with each press but it brings up three keyboards of Arabic only. It does not bring the English keyboard. How can I get back the English Keyboard or add it again, please? Thanks! -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
