Cannot remove English keyboard option from language bar

I use the language bar to switch between Chinese and French keyboards. However lately an English keyboard option also appeared in the popup. I didn't add it myself and I cannot find any way to remove it. For some reasons, it doesn't show up in the Settings page (see screenshot below). Any idea what could be the reason?

Edit

This is what I have in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload
    1    REG_SZ    0000040c
    2    REG_SZ    00000804
    3    REG_SZ    e0200804
    4    REG_SZ    e0210804

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Substitutes
    0000040c    REG_SZ    a001040c

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Toggle
    Language Hotkey    REG_SZ    1
    Hotkey    REG_SZ    1
    Layout Hotkey    REG_SZ    3

What about adding and removing again? – week – 2012-11-17T10:08:38.190

@week, thanks for suggestion, however I just tried and it didn't work. When I've added it, the keyboard showed up in the Settings page, however when I removed it, it stayed in the language bar. – laurent – 2012-11-17T10:15:58.740

Post here what you have in registry under HKCU\Keyboard Layout\ in keys preload and Substitutes. Run cmd.exe and type reg query "hkcu\keyboard layout" /s – week – 2012-11-17T10:39:50.440

@week, I've posted the registry info, can you see any issue in there? – laurent – 2012-11-18T05:26:04.483
