How to type letters for non Latin alphabets?
How to type letters for non Latin based alphabets?
Russian keyboards have a key that works like a caps-lock but instead of switching between small-case and upper-case, it switches between Cyrillic and Latin.
I'll bet that there are similar ways for Hebrew, or Arabic, but how to do it on a keyboard that is (only) Latin-based?
Would need some helping software in between.

I would look into Keyman, especially if you have expansive or niche language needs.
It's a FOSS project started in 1993, and supports 2500+ languages on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. There's also a browser version.
We're using KDE, and it supports switching between different keyboard layouts. You can add more layouts (and change the shortcut to switch between them if you like) in the settings.
Stuff like Japanese is a little trickier. That needs an IME, "input method editor". (Personally we use fcitx5-mozc for that, but there are other ones.) You probably won't run into that with Cyrillic, though.
