Macro Organizer dialog in Tamil

The Macro Organizer dialogue in Tamil is a good example of mnemonics incongruently used in the Tamil translation:

a) "~" placed before a Tamil character in the Help button: ~உதவி
b) "~" placed before a Latin upper case character, embraced in parenthesis:  ஒருங்கிணைப்பி (~O)...
c) "~" placed before a Latin lower case character, embraced in parenthesis: இதிலிருந்து மேக்ரோ (~f)

(a) is the way mnemonics are set in Western languages
(b) is the way they are set in Japanese and Chinese
(c) looks like a bug 

It must be decided whether to use (a) or (b).
If (b) is chosen, then all uses of (a) have to be removed, and automatic mnemonic generation has to be turned off for Tamil in /org.openoffice.Office.Common/View/Localisation/AutoMnemonic (not that the algorithm in VCL is assigning mnemonics in the Western-way (a)).
