I would like to add a second language (French) to the Text tool,
so that Mid-sentence I can switch between the two languages.

For example to get the accent grave over the 'e', etc. etc.

Can someone please tell me how to do this?

If I am in the Text tool and change the Language on the bottom left side
to French, there is no change at all to what I type. 

I also use Gimp in English, but I have no problem using accents.
   
Maybe it's a matter of configuring the keyboard.
