The above solution changes the language of the keyboard which is ok if
that is what you want to do. But for example is you just want to type a
foreign word in an OOwrite document there is a special character option
that would allow you to do this under Insert-> Special Characters

Windows NT Beer: Comes in 32-oz. cans, but you can only buy it by the
truckload. This causes most people to have to go out and buy bigger
refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer's, but the
company promises to change the can to look just like Windows 95 Beer's
-- after Windows 95 beer starts shipping. Touted as an "industrial
strength" beer, and suggested only for use in bars.
