As far as I know, there is no difference between them on a standard keyboard. The circuitry is designed to make them identical to the operating system, thus the same signal is generated if you held down one or both.
You would have to locate or build a special keyboard that sent different codes, and then design software to allow the operating system to know what to do with these new codes for all the apps that would run on the computer, (eg. email, browsers, spreadsheets, menus, utilities, etc). In addition, you would need to create and install keyboard definitions for each language. Not something I would know how to do, but there may be something out there that could help. Google for input devices or other term that could get you closer.
