Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: pt-BR / Portuguese (Brazil), defect, P3)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.76 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new empty message; 
Write something;
Close window;

A prompt message ask (in portuguese), want to save this message to the drafts folder? 

The options are: [s]ave, [d]iscard and cancel

In portuguese, yes = sim,  no = não. So it's natural to press "S" to Yes/Sim, and also Save. But we never use "D" for Discard/Descartar.


Actual results:

Pressing "N" if you don't want to save to drafts folder don't do anything, since it's waiting for "D" for Discard.


Expected results:

As the question already ask to save to draft folder, the options should be:

Yes / No / Cancel, so pression Y/N should be enough, and is natural.

In portuguese:

Sim / Não / Cancelar   or   S/N

I was able to accomplish the desired behavior, and created my own custom translation.

First, I downloaded do translation from official location, a XPI file:
http://download-origin.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/thunderbird/releases/45.7.0/win32/xpi/pt-BR.xpi

Since it is a ZIP file, uncompressed the folder, and used Notepad++ to search in all files inside that folder for the words I need. "Descartar", for instance.

It was located at pt-BR\global\commonDialogs.properties

I changed from:

DontSave=&Descartar

To:

DontSave=&Não Salvar

Saved file; 

Compress the folder again (tip: don't click on pt-BR -> compress, but instead select all files inside pt-BR, then click compress)

Rename back from ZIP to XPI;

Install XPI in Thunderbird (remember to match versions);

Restart Thunderbird... done.

I don't know if future updates will replace my custom translation.

Our team talked about your suggestion and we agree that both makes sense. At the moment it is not a priority to make this kind of change, so I am setting it as P3. Also, it is in our plans to review the accesskeys, so we can go back to this bug soon.
