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?

That's unlikely to be a problem. Even to get to the PHP manual you have to
type `www.php.net` (or `google.com` if 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.
