Which version of MS OS were you using? All I have to do to switch between English, Portuguese (Brazilian and continental), Ukrainian and Russian is press the left alt key and then the left shift key through cycle through the choices. I can even configure which key combination to use to cycle through the choices.
I feel queasy, I never thought I would be explaining an easy way to do anything in MS.

The DS (Demon Spawn) solution was reviewed and found sadly lacking. In
order to type a foreign language character, the end-user is required to
navigate some pull-down menus, select a font set that has the character
needed, and select the character by either double-clicking it or
cut-and-pasting it to the application.
