Can I change my keyboard language without having to change my settings

I need to be able to text in Spanish sometimes and I don't want to have to keep changing my settings from English to Spanish. Is there a way to change change my language on my text keyboard.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have?

On the Nexus 5 using Google Keyboard, go to Settings>Language & Input>Google Keyboard. Tap Languages, then turn off the "Use System Language" switch. Now find Spanish and turn that switch on, along with any other languages you use regularly.

Now go to an app and bring up the keyboard. The spacebar should now display a language on it (probably "English"). Long-press the spacebar, and you will now see the option to select your other languages easily. Or, you can also tap the globe icon right next to the spacebar, which will cycle through your languages without having to access a dialog box.
