How do I use different languages and character sets?

As part of an application that I am designing, I'm letting users enter all sorts of words and their descriptions (like a dictionary) into the application. The problem with this is that it's possible to use diferent languages and therefore also different character sets. In Windows it's possible to change between different installed languages and then you can immediately start using the keyboard layout (with foreign characters) that produce those (for instance cyrillic) characters. I can't get this to work with VB applications. What do I need to do so that I can start using those other characters in my application?
