You can do the lmap-translation yourself

func! LmapArg(chr)
let chrtrans = maparg(a:chr, "l")
return chrtrans=="" ? a:chr : chrtrans
endfunc


With enabled keymap
:echo LmapArg('b')
б

Not sure what to do (how to detect) if more than one char needs to be typed to get
the lmap'ed character.

(Lame solutions might parse the :redir output of :lmap, or the keymap file)
