It's invisible until you have more than one keyboard layout (just like how the Pager widget is invisible until you have more than one Virtual Desktop). If you add another keyboard layout, the version of this widget in the System Tray will become visible automatically.

see at the end of the video, I have two keyboard layouts
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-07-29 20:29:54 UTC 
Ok, my mistake. So in this case it seems that all the widgets don't believe you have more than one keyboard layout. If you reboot, do they start noticing it?
Comment 6 Podagric 2024-07-30 21:28:40 UTC 
no. nothing changes when I restart. I can only see them if I'm in wayland. 

it seems to me to be something bigger that's broken, because apart from the visual part of the widgets, the keyboard layout isn't applied either.

Ok, thanks.

For what it's worth I can't reproduce this on X11 in 6.1.4, with 4 keyboard layouts configured. (Also tested with git-master and 3 layouts)
Adding the widget to the desktop, I see the current layout and can switch between them
The widget settings window has the different display styles as expected

I've updated to plasma 6.2 beta and this bug is no longer present
