[Solved] How do I Change the XFCE keyboard-layout symbols or text?

I live in an awful place called Occupied Palestine. and when I write in English and Hebrew - it's either US or IL written.
(and the flags US flag, and Israeli flag)
I would love to change this, it's not really a problem more of a personal issue, so I thought about making either new text or graphics to go with the layouts.
is it possible?

You can always change the flag that is displayed by copying over the one that you want and overwriting either the US and/or IL flags with your own. The flags should be located at /usr/share/xfce4/xkb/flags (but it may differ from distro to distro). The files are in svg format.

I don't think you can change the text - it probably comes from the system locale.

Just keep in mind that if you do change the flag, it may get overwritten if your system ever receives an update to the xfce4-xkb-plugin package.

Thanks Mate. Appreciate it. I changed the flags to windows like text (EN) & (HE) in a blue background, worked!
