If the menu is localized to non-latin language (in this case Thai), there will
be a problem with using menu shortcut if the keyboard language is different from
the menu language.

1) if the menu is in English and the keyboard layout is English - OK. For
example, you can type 'Alt-F' then 'O' to open a file.
2) If the menu is in Thai and the keyboard layout is Thai - OK. For example, you
can type 'Alt-à' then 'à' to open a file.

3) if the menu is in Thai but the keyboard layout is English, e.g. users is
currently typing something in English - there'll be a problem. You can't type
'Alt-à' and 'à' to open a file because the keyboard layout is currently 
English.
You can't type 'Alt-F' and 'O' either because the menu is in Thai. The user has
to switch the keyboard layout to Thai before they can use the menu shortcut
which is impracticle.

4) if the menu is in English but the keyboard layout is Thai, e.g. Thai users
who prefer to use English UI and are typing Thai - there's a similar problem.
You can't type 'Alt-F' and 'O' because the keyboard layout is currently Thai.
The user has to switch the keyboard layout to English before they can use the
menu shortcut which is impracticle.

I think the cause of this problem is that OOo use translated keyboard character
to find the menu item. The solution may be having OOo uses keyboard scan code
and associates the scan codes with the menu items instead.
