The browser has no ability to force the operating system to use a different language for the keyboard.
The best you can do is set the language for the page (eg <html lang='fr'> using codes from this list ) and the OS will change the language if it wants to.
For example, on OSX, there is a setting in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources called Automatically switch to a document's input source that will toggle if the user wants the keyboard to switch to the documents language.

If you're running a web app on a client like a Browser, Javascript wouldn't have any control over what happens on the OS level. It is just provided a thread in memory to run it's process in. Changing the keyboard language is something that the user will have to initiate. The only thing I can think of that you could do for good user experience is to show a tooltip to the user to change his or her language settings
