Hm.. either here’s a misunderstanding or you looked at the wrong place 
(because in Regional Settings, there is also a tab with "Region" in its name). 
I meant the active layout in the "Keyboard Layout" tab, where you have dozens 
of countries to chose from and where you can enable/disable the display of a 
flag in the tray area. Did you mean that one?
