What is the name of this keyboard layout?

Question

I attached a picture of my keyboard (i.e. for a Dell Inspiron SE 7520). I'm running Ubuntu on it and I can't find neither the English not the Arabic layouts for this keyboard on Ubuntu by default.

Would someone help identifying the exact name of these 2 layouts ? Of course I expect only Arabs to able to help with the Arabic layout so it's not a problem to provide at least the name of one layout.

I've tried all possible English layouts but nothing worked. And tried a lot of Arabic layouts too.

The Answer (Thanks to Rudu)

Arabic: Arabic (102) AZERTY
English: US English (IBM Arabic 238_L)

@Xavierjazz, sorry, it's attached now. Thank you for the feedback. — Muhammad Gelbana, Dec 08 '13 at 19:17

When you install Ubuntu there's a process that lets you type keys so the software knows what keyboard you use... did that not work? [Perhaps it's only good for latin languages]

Anyway, the easiest way online is MS: Windows Keyboard Layouts it's a bit tedious (you have to choose a keyboard and wait for the image to load) but there's lots in there. I'd start with the Arabic 101, Arabic 102, Arabic 102 Azerty options

If you're using a GUI there's a handy guide here: How-To Geek: Add Keyboard Input Language to Ubuntu – Rudu Dec 08 '13 at 19:29
This is for an older version. The one I have now doesn't have it. I'm using v13.10 – Muhammad Gelbana Dec 08 '13 at 19:32
It's called Text Entry Settings.. in your version, almost identical process though – Rudu Dec 08 '13 at 19:36
In the text entry settings in my version, I can only chose a different layout from a list in which I can't find the names you kindly guided me to. And I can't edit these layouts. – Muhammad Gelbana Dec 08 '13 at 19:49
@Rudu I didn't find Arabic 102 , Ubuntu 18 – semsem Feb 02 '19 at 17:26
