Language-independent keyboard: culturating neutral text in English -kbd without things such as umlauts?

I like to use US Dvorak International keyboard while programming -- every manual, every documentation and also program with it. I am driving my teachers crazy because every-now-and-then they require me to write things in different languages such as German, Finnisch, Swedish or Norwegian. I tend to get stupid decreases in grades because I am lazy to switch keyboard, missing oddities such as umlauts. I find keyboard -switching slow and I am nowadays many-times more productive Drovakist than Qwertyist.

This puzzle requires some linguistic understanding to determine the text. Does there exist any program like the point (3) or the below oneliner?

$ culturifyIt inputMe > outputYouIwillDetectAutomaticallyYourInputOutputLanguages

Examples

'Ich heisse Henry.' >> 'Ich heiße Henry.' (Germafication)

'Tusentals soldater stor redo for ett mojligt markkrig.' >> 'Tusentals soldater står redo för ett möjligt markkrig.' (Swedification)

'Yoak.' >> 'Yöäk.' (Finification)

Methods for Culturification

  1. Keyboard -switching, slow.

  2. Specific key-combos for special characters such as umlautified o, u or a -- very platform-dependent -solution, errorsome.

  3. ...any more automated method that would detect the language and then culturefy the text?
