@Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer) 
[qoute="Brandon Schaefer"]We are going to have to discuss this and aim to land a fix in for 14.04 as there is no time for 13.10 :(.[/qupte]
Is that the official answer ?
With simple words you are saying us that no one can use the 13.10 as properly if works with his native language (non English)???

Is it possible to release 13.10 with a bug that affects millions users on their native language?
In my opinion, If this bug exists after release, then the 13.10 will be a non-handy version for many users.

Am i wrong, is there something that i misunderstanding?

Title:
  Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. 
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. 

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.
