I use US/intl (also the new Dutch) layout for Nordic languages, Dutch and German. You get all the characters for Scandinavian languages easily with the EURkey layout (AltGr + aow for äöå). I did bind en-dash and em-dash to AltGr + - and AltGr + _ respectively because I use those a lot. I have also tied CapsLock to the Nordic layout (Swedish/Finnish), so when CapsLock is on, you can blindly type and get those öäå characters on a regular qwerty layout. I never seem to use that, but at least I'm rid of CapsLock. ;) I write both code and text in different languages, and in international environments just getting used to a standard qwerty layout has turned out to be the most efficient option.
