The same applies for any localizer in any language. IMHO, accelerators are one of the least understood elements of all L10n, and I suspect that they simply do not get the testing that they deserve (which typically must be done by a native speaker). I doubt that anyone would object to changes that were made thoughtfully on the basis of a pulldown menu review with attention to providing unique accelerator shortcuts for the items in a given menu. cjl
