It was bugging me that I could not switch WP7 keyboard language.
I write most of my emails in French, but my blog and tweets are in English.
I’ve seen that some people were also asking it for the soon to come update.
But you can actually already do it easily.
Here’s a short how to.
Go to Settings/Keyboard. Then tap on Keyboard language.
You can select multiple languages here with the checkboxes !
That’s all.
Then when you open any application with a keyboard you can notice the language selector near the space bar :
You an also view all selectable languages with tap&hold :
That’s it.

@jemop> It seems that some TMobile hd7 are build without multilanguage support. Other carriers can have the same issue.
The following forum comments indicates that the upcoming update could provide multilanguage support for everybody :

Check out an app "In.my.language", it allows to send SMS and e-mail messages in different languages. It has its own on-screen keyboard.
