Is some other key that opens the console for your layout? Pridit found that the quote key worked for the layout he is using. Alternate keys are preferable to suggesting an OS layout change.

I made a crappy list:
Afrikaans: ~
Albanian: | (below esc)
Alsatian: ù (2x right of L)
Amharic: ~
Arabic: ّ (below esc)
Armenian: ՜ (below esc)
Assamese: ॥ (below esc)
Azerbaijani (Cyrillic): ~
Azerbaijani (Latin): ə (2x right of L)
Bangla: <nochar> (below esc)
Bashkir: Ә (below esc)
Basque: ñ (1x right of L)
Belarusian: Ё (below esc)
Bosnian (Cyrillic): ~
Bosnian (Latin): ¨ (below esc)
Breton: ù (2x right of L)
Bulgarian: ) (below esc)
Burmese: ဎ (below esc)
I can only assume most languages will use the key below ESC or the two to the right of L.
