The layout switching key (misnamed the language key) is times-divide, just above right arrow. On Arabic and some other XOs it has a different graphic symbol, indicating two alphabets to switch between.
In the Arabic layout, it is defined as
// Language key key <I219> { [ ISO_Next_Group, ISO_Prev_Group ] }
In the International US English layout, it is defined as
key <I219> {[ multiply, division,ISO_Next_Group,ISO_Prev_Group ]}
Some current layouts, including Dvorak, fail to define a language key.
