  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's painful not only for people working in different languages.
[Ctrl]+[S] is Save in almost any Windows application, *except* Windows
accesories, Microsoft Office and LibreOffice, so when you want to save
your document, you instead activates underlining in Spanish
("Subrayado"). And just because of that, localizing shortcuts
shouldn't be done at all, except if the target language uses a
different alphabet.

The "localized" shortcut in Thunderbird is a really bad idea, and
should be undone. Making exceptions to a general rule just because it
seems cool for someone in a very specific scenario, and arguable for
many more people, should be enough for that someone to reevaluate if
that was really as cool as it seemed at first glance.

For the sake of it, es-ES has never localized shortcuts in Mozilla and
it will continue to be that way, at least for the products I localize
(Thunderbird, including Calendar, and SeaMonkey).
