Not all the languages are using latin letters. For Chinese, we
translate "Open" as "ABCD", where XXXX is Chinese characters,
and "_Open" will be "ABCD(_O)". It is obviously wrong just removing
"_" from the translations, because "Open" will become "ABCD(O)".

So, you suggestion does not fit non-latin languages.
