a) You do not need to switch your keyboard layout to write in english
b) If a user selects the us layout as default keyboard layout at installation 
_even though_ the installer defaults to a sensible default for the language 
selected earlier, it is to be assumed that the user either preferres the us 
layout to begin with or is indeed native us user and just happens to live 
somewhere else (for whatever reason there is).

Showing an indicator to switch the keyboard layout in cases where layout
!= locale layout is simple pointless. You can't even list another layout
because for some locales there are multiple different layouts and you
wouldnt know which one to list. If you care to be able to switch the
keyboard layout at runtime, then there is appropriate functionallity
around to make this happen, but there is no reason why the average user
would need this.
