Bug description

When the "Layouts" window in Keyboard settings is opened and you click on the "Options..." button, the settings window closes (I assume crashes). I also want to point out that the system language is set to Bulgarian.

Steps to reproduce

Open Settings -> Go to Keyboard -> Go to Layouts -> Click on "Options..." button (bottom right)

Expected behavior

The Settings app should close without opening any other windows.

Research direction

Reproduce the crash in Settings through Keyboard > Layouts > Options... on the reported Linux Mint and Cinnamon versions, noting the Bulgarian locale. Start by tracing the Keyboard settings entry point and the Options... action; done means the settings window no longer crashes and the intended Options behavior is verified.
