First this is under Gnome 2.6 or 2.8. Earlier versions used a different 
applet for the keyboard switching. Not sure how to make a lenghty 
explanation of it, though. When you add the keyboard switching applet on 
a panel, it displays (on the panel) a letter code to indicate the 
current keyboard. For the US English keyboard it's "us". For the Spanish 
keyboard it's "es". And for the French Canadian keyboard it's (right 
now) "ca".

Don't hesitate to ask again if the explanation is not long enough. :-)
