It is possible, and without copying images and mystical commands to  
gconf/dconf to configure indicator images. ;)

It is surprisingly in System Settings -> Input devices -> Keyboard ->  
Layouts

Just tick "Configure layouts" and add the layouts you need (in a spirit of  
GNOME HIG keyboard layout icon is not shown in tray by default in UBUNTU).

You can also configure many other useful things from System Settings (no  
need for Ubuntu Tweak, it's KDE, everything can be configured from the  
default GUI).

Hope this helps.

BTW your question is off topic in this list. Please send your further  
question to KDE user lists (subscription will be helpful).
