However that's a bit inconvenient. For many windows (i.e. browser, terminal) I need to keep the US layout most of the time. I need the localized layout only for text editors in 99% of cases. And I switch windows/workspaces a lot, so I have to switch the layouts manually almost every time I switch.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82891 might be of interest.  (It's not Arch-specific, although I can't promise that your system has xxkb packaged.)

Xxkb has some problems with non-reparenting WM like xmonad, same for Xneur. However there was per-window-layout module in xmonad-extras and you can try to use kbdd (self adv), it packages exists for gentoo, debian. If you are using xmonad without ICCCWM hook then you can use pre 0.6.2 version as it latest non-ICCCWM support is dropped until I found a good way to monitor system changes.
