If you are _really_ interested how to do it, I think you should better ask on some 'macro'? or developers list if it's possible to access this function from a macro at all. Or maybe it's possible to get the layout switching keystroke signal in OOo somehow? Again, you must know which language is switched to apply the correct character style. Even if it is possible, I guess it's non-trivial.
