In 9.04 it will be in UI.

For now:
Code:
sudo mousepad /etc/default/console-setup

and put this instead of existent:
Code:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=",winkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:switch,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

XKBLAYOUT="us,ru" - my second language is Russian (ru).
XKBVARIANT=",winkeys" - just set layout - for (ru) I put "winkeys"
this configuration make me switch layout by CapsLock (grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll), and temporarily switch while pressing Alt (grp:switch).
