How to use Polish characters?

[balanga]

One thing I like about Windows is that I can easily change the keyboard layout be simply selecting which language I want to type in.

I have no idea how to do this in FreeBSD.

Can anyone point me at some howto?

I only want to use some Polish characters when I'm using X.

Handbook, chapter 5.5.4.2. Using X.org Configuration Files , Example 8. Setting a Keyboard Layout.

Like: /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard.conf

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier    "All Keyboards"
    MatchIsKeyboard    "yes"
    Option        "XkbLayout" "gb, pl"
    Option        "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrls_toggle"
EndSection

See xkeyboard-config(7) LAYOUTS for "Layout" variants and OPTIONS for layout switch options.

Aren't you using LXDE or LXQT? There should be a keyboard and mouse settings menu, which includes "Keyboard Layout" settings for multiple layouts and a "Keys to change layout" drop-down menu:
