Okay,it's not simple, especially if your keyboard is not working properly. I reckon it could be hard for some users and I would implement any reasonable solution that is suggested to solve this problem.
To switch to another locale, you need to generate it, set it as default and then restart your console session.
So, to set the locale to French Canadian, you would do
sudo locale-gen fr_CA.UTF-8
sudo nano /etc/default/locale

exit
For a list of available locales, run
less /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
