Hi, Thomas.

You don't say what your OS is, but I think this is normally more a
function of the OS than a specific application -- WP obviously being
an exception.

If, for instance, you are using Win, you can go to the Control Panel
and select Regional and Language Options. In some versions there will
be a Language tab where you can find 'input languages' and from there
add new keyboards. (I typically have three keyboards installed on a
Win machine which I use at home.)

Alternatively, there are several applications (sorry, I don't recall
the names, but I'm sure you can find them with a web search) that
allow mapping of keys.
