Mac OS X has a rather nifty international keyboard handling input menu, you can make it appear in the menu bar with a little flag showing what locale you are in.
But when you are in one country, and you use the the input menu to only get at the handy keyboard and character palette utilities (one shows you live, what characters the keyboard generates, great for locating the ™ or å or é, the other lets you browse the unicode character set).... then the flag is a bit noisy; overly colourful and depending on taste, possibly jingoistic.
So, for a fix, may I refer you to this Macworld article which shows you how to directly launch the keyboard and character palette utilities without having the input menu on screen.
But wouldn't it be nice if you could have a "Global citizen" mode on the input menu, so you didn't have the little flag (you could make it appear when you mouse over it)...
