That would allow us to run the same tests in any language.
I was hoping for something closer to present capabilities.  For
example, accelerators are defined in resource files, yes?

Accelerators are defined algorithmically by OpenOffice when not specified, and the algorithm avoids collisions. So the recommendation for translations is not to specify an accelerator unless you know what you are doing.

Accelerators in PO files are marked by "~": "F~ormat" means that the accelerator is the letter O.

We do have an accelerator bug in the latest 4.x snapshot, feel free to post to Bugzilla if confirmed. In Calc, Alt+O opens F~ormat but, within "Format", there is no accelerator for the Flip command (and anything below it, apparently) since F, L, I, P are all taken by other commands. This might be one of the cases where we need manual definition (for example, mapping "AutoFormat" to "m"; or find and improve the algorithm!).
