I don’t know about other compositors, but on Hyprland and Sway you can configure things per device (in the config file). I’d give an example here but I’m on my phone right now.
I have a laptop and a desktop with slightly different keyboard layouts, and both machines share the same config file.
Not sure why you have a tool to “set the language”, what would happen if you tried to use both keyboards at once?
I honestly don’t recall the details and can’t check right now. It’s been working like that for years.
I remember the main issues I was having were around yubikey, my usb hub which can switch between two pc’s and hotplugging. So I had to use a second tool which did something on any device plugin.
I think using both keyboards at once worked fine. I didn’t mean system keyboard language.
