Programmatically (macro), switch the default language of Word's Auto Text entries?

Is there a way, to programmatically (eg through a macro), to switch the default language of Word's Auto Text entries?

Being located in Sweden, I use Int'l English versions of my application programs and produce documents in both Swedish and US/UK English, and I'm trying to overcome the default language selection in Word's Auto Text entries.

You set the Windows default start-up language in Windows XP (Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab > Details > Default Input Language (Select one of the installed input languages to use when you start your computer)), and this controls the language of the Auto Text entries in Word.

I would like to change the language of this default language in the Word Auto Text, eg between US English and Swedish (that are both installed on my system) without having to re-boot my system and preferably within an open document.

Is this at all possible, and if so, how would I go about it?

Best regards,

Why not just create a template based on normal.dot and set the desired
language there (by modifying the Normal style)? The template will use
the correct language versions of built-in AutoText entries.
