If they don't do, they should, but everyone should make a decision
whether she/he want or want not. I would because I think that that
everyone like (or know) it's native (first) language much better than
other languages, so if in English for 'Quit' stand a shortcut 'q' then
why don't is there in Hungarian for 'Kilép' a shortcut 'k'?!

Developers should think about that that there are so many languages in
the world and that those languages are a value, a treasure for as,
people.
