If you can write/type in other languages, you might appreciate having your keyboard labeled with input methods that correspond to the language of your choice for ease of input.
But if you purchase your computer in the US, you're pretty much stuck with the standard US keyboard.
Removable keyboard protectors with pre-labeled layouts for non-Roman alphabetic scripts (e.g. Arabric, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc) that one can overlay on a US based keyboard would be an inexpensive solution to the problem.

One idea I like, although it would be impractically expensive for all but a few users, would be a keyboard with LED surfaces on the keytops that could be reprogrammed to display different symbols depending on the language of the keyboard desired.
Such a keyboard exists, even if as a prototype.It is darned expensive.
It has a newer, supposedly cheaper cousin, which is totally an LCD touch screen, which you can define the shape and layout of the keys on it.
