Comment 113 for bug 518056

Concerning the pt_PT: Although we do not have manifestations from Portuguese people, we can be quite certain (as we know the Portuguese language :-) ) that the fix will be useful for them as well. Concerning other latin languages: Spanish, French, Italian, none of them have the acute-c character, so probably few people will notice the change. On the contrary, French has the cedilla character. They do not complain about that because their keyboard is totally different (including letters interchanged) so are always out of their confort zone when typing in any qwerty keyboard anyway.

Of course, there will be some people trying to type, for instance, Serbian, with some keyboard, and they will need the accute-c letter. However, as mentioned in some comment above, they will also need many other letters that are not easy to type in the US keyboard anyway, so preserving the accute-c for the Portuguese people will affect very, very few people, and only in a very unusual way.
