Re: [libreoffice-l10n]

In my experience with MS there is next to zero feedback on access key 
issues for the localizers. It may be different for big languages and/or 
they may fix these themselves but it is unclear what they do with the SMLs.

We had this debate some time ago, but it never really got anywhere - for 
a new locale, they could just not add them and have the system add them 
automatically but the problem remains for those who would like to have 
them automated but already have them in there from previous versions, 
there's no way of stripping them and doing it manually would be a 
nightmare. Plus Pootle would through a zillion errors on the access key 
check...
