How to change keyboard layout

Hi! Please, help:

1) Why I can not change layout of my keyboard (iOS7)? Even if I change it in Settings (let's say remove "English (US)" and change it for "German" I still have only English (US) keyboard to type messages. Even if I change layout for AZERTY or add AZERTY layout in addition to QWERTY I still do not have these layouts when type messages (Only QWERTY English (US))...

2) How can I change layout to have comma "," on the screen with "letters" (it is too bothering to change layouts each type to type comma)...

Thank you in advance!

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2

If you have multiple keyboards installed, you should see a Globe icon towards the bottom left of your keyboard to rotate between the different keyboards. I tested mine and have English (US) QWERTY, English (US) AZERTY, and Japanese. I click the globe icon and the keyboards rotate. However, I am using iOS 9 and a newer device than an iPhone 4s using iOS 7. The only thing I can suggest is try restarting your device by holding down the home and lock button until you see the Apple logo (about 10 seconds).

As far as not being able to change the layout, that is simply something Apple doesn't allow.

If you can upgrade to iOS 8, there are lots of 3rd party keyboards available, and I would imagine one of them has what you want.
