How can I have one keyboard input layout and multiples languages in Ubuntu 17.10? If I have English language I can't type "'e" and get an "é", as I can do in Portuguese and Spanish.
When I manage to do that on Settings -> Region & Language, I'm able to change languages, but it also changes the keyboard layout.
Is there any way to change language (Portuguese or Spanish for example) and set the keyboard input layout (US International for example)?

The US International keyboard layout isn't designed for diacritics because the target language is English and English doesn't use diacritics (it should, at least for foreign words like fiancé or coupé, but it doesn't and it sometimes results in an incorrect pronunciation like "coupe" instead of "coupeh" - I'm looking at you US citizens, in the other side of the pound we do pronounce it correctly).
In order to use input languages requiring diacritics users must choose the "US International with dead keys" variant, with caveats:
