How to use two keyboard layouts in Raspbian

Question

I am using Raspbian 9 (Stretch) and I want to use both English and Persian keyboard layouts at the same time.

Right now I have to go to the preferences every time I need a keyboard layout shift.

Is there a way to add a shortcut for this like windows' alt+shift or Mac's top menu icon?

I don't know if any answer here https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/5130/multiple-keyboard-and-input-languages may help - specifically this answer — Jaromanda X, Jul 24 '18 at 11:31
