My two cents on this, since I teach beginner courses on a regular basis:
All languages - that I'm aware of - have English as their basis. As a matter of fact our industry as a whole have English as it's basis. I often tell my students: learn English. You'll eventually need it and it will provide you with a whole different view of all things as you'll understand their meaning. You may argue it's unfair or even cruel, but it is what it is.
So while I understand the reason behind this discussion - and am even sympathetic towards it - it seems to be "Working on a problem that's not really there". Aside from all this, wasn't this one of the downfalls of PHP6?

Even to get to the PHP manual you have to typewww.php.net(orgoogle.comif you want to google something), so it implies you have a way to enter latin characters. Keyboard layout switching is a problem solved decades ago.
