In my case, I write in Danish often enough that I actually bought a Danish keyboard which has the three Danish letters æ, ø and å built in. Since English uses no special characters like that, having such a keyboard does not restrict me when writing in English. When I make the German umlauts or French accented letters, I use the ALT+xxxx method. All these non-English letters belong to the "high ASCII" character set, from 128 to 255. Some systems have trouble displaying them (for example the Leica Gallery Net web site cannot), but most modern e-mail clients and browsers have no problems.
