Not exactly the example that you mention, and not really relevant to
the thread, but I for one prefer a standard (that is, US :-) qwerty
layout when in emacs and in bash, but a Norwegian key layout when in
some other applications.  In fact, I have posted questions on several
forums and usenet groups on how to achieve this automatically under
Mac OS X.

For the question of the thread, is not keyboard-translate (an emacs
function) a possibility?

    keyboard-translate is a compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'.
    (keyboard-translate from to)

    Translate character from to to at a low level.
    This function creates a `keyboard-translate-table' if necessary
    and then modifies one entry in it.
