You use <control space> to insert that amount of discardable glue that
you get by a <space token> when the space factor is 1000.
Usually this is what you want in situations where preventing the eating
of spaces is neded.

Whether <control space> or <space token> after the
otherlanguage-environment is better for inserting discardable glue might
depend on behavior desired in the case of the phrase within the
otherlanguage-environment ending with punctuation.
