    My intuition would suggest, that the language setting should be
    independently modifiable if necessary from within the editor you are
    working with, rather than having different language versions for
    otherwise identical keyboard layouts. Or did I miss something?

    Of course it makes sense to have _one_ default language for any
    given keyboard layout, only this should not override your choice in the
    editor.
