[SOLVED]couldn't change keyboard layout to arabic in openbox

i just tried openbox for a couple of weeks, and impressed with how i can manage to minimize my RAM usage on startup.
but i couldn't change my keyboard layout to arabic which i need for work sometimes.

this is my xorg-keyboard

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"IntegratedKeyboard"
	MatchIsKeyboard	"on"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
	Driver 		"evdev"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc104"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"us,ara"
	Option		"XkbVariant"	",qwerty_digits"
	Option		"XkbOptions"	"grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toogle"
EndSection

i keep pressing alt+shift but nothing happened

however setting the layout directly with "setxkbmap ara" was success, but i couldn't switch back to english since i could only type arabic character with that command.

There's a typo in your config. Toogle should be "toggle".
