How can I switch quickly back and forth between the English keyboard and the German keyboard on macOS?

Mac, iPad, iPhone? Also which version of the OS is on your device.– Steve ChambersCommented Sep 9, 2019 at 21:19

I am at system pref -> keyboard -> input sources, and "show input menu in menu bar" is ticked, but there is no icon in the upper right. Just a search box.– Peter SchultzCommented Sep 10, 2019 at 2:15

In iOS, tap(or hold) the globe key.
In macOS, try control+space bar. Press and hold control and then press space to get a list of languages.
If menu bar has input sources shortcut enabled in keyboard settings, one can use it too.

Thank you, but pressing and holding "control" and then pressing the space bar does not do anything. Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 2:17

I watched a youtube instruction and ticked both boxes in Keyboard > Shortcuts, and now "control + slace bar" changes the keyboards. But is there is anywhere on the screen an indication of which language keyboard is active? Or do I just have to experiment by typing something? Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 2:41

1@PeterSchultz In MacOS the active keyboard is normally indicated by a "flag" icon in the top right corner of the screen. Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 9:52
