We do have an option to run the accelerator check against other 
languages (./tests/glade/run_glade_tests.sh --translate), and I've filed 
bugs against a couple of languages, but it's not been something that 
I've been doing regularly.

And now that you mention the _Done/_Hotovo issue I guess the accelerator 
check doesn't take the default buttons into account at all.
