I agree with "mirelli"
Polyglot is the person who is able to speak, read and write several languages.

I hope it helps.

All of the above are correct. You can say a person is trilingual,  multilingual,  or he is a poly glot.  The latter two may be used for more than three languages while trilingual is only three

 Hope that helps
