xfce-xkb-plugin configuration for language switch

So I have a xkb plugin on my xfce. However it only shows the US laytout. I went in into modifiying my XF86Config and added a new keyboard for a 2nd language. However xkb won't read the new language and will keep just giving me the 'US' choice.

Can anyone guide me, this is the configurations that I did:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "la-latin1"
    Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection

Any comments on how to make xkb work.

Use multiple layouts in the XkbLayout option.

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,la-latin1"
    Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
EndSection
