As already suggested you should use the Keyboard settings gui accessible 
from Settings > keyboard or alternatively with the command 
xfce4-keyboard-settings and look at the third tab "Layout" where you can 
add keyboard layouts you want to use.

Then you can add a panel plugin to switch layouts quickly. It is 
provided by the package:

xfce4-xkb-plugin

and can be added by right clicking on the panel you want to add it to, 
Panel > Add New Items select the plugin called "Keyboard Layouts" you 
will see a flag representing the layout currently in use.

Hope this helps.
Lorenzo
