HiFirst of, I work on translation myself, alone in translating into Swedish at the moment, so I'm well aware of these translation issues. ;)
In this particular case I believe that we can avoid extra workload on the translation team. At least when it comes to the change/fix that I have in mind. The problem in this case is strictly a Windows accessibility issue were the shortcut string is already displayed in the menu entries but not forwarded to accessibility tools. Now what I believe needs to be done is to find the correct place to actually forward the information, it is already forwarded on Mac and Linux. Finding the correct place to change is not that easy, but I believe that it can be done without effecting the translation team. Again I'm not taking about adding new strings to menu entries just use the information that is already present and present it to accessibility tools as well.
Note that I'm swamped with work (at my daytime job) and when I get some spare time I need to work on the translation and spend time with my ~4 months old baby girl. This is also one of the reasons why I thought a bug should be filed so we can keep track of the bug, and I can add my findings as I try to narrow in on the issue. Thereby also making it easier for someone else to complete the work if I can't find the time.

Hi :) Ok, so best left for a couple of months. I have a feeling we might have managed to stay "on topic", or at least get back to the original problem! However that is so rare i can't quite believe it! @ Niklas, does that address the issue at all?

If it's not likely to be just a couple of days then it'd probably bebetterfor them if this sort of change didn't happen for a few months - or longer. There might be a chance of them automating something like thisbutit'd take ages to set something up and they haven't agreed on getting the automation bit sorted.Shortcuts can't be automated as they are localized (Ctrl and Shift). And the problem with automation is that we need somebody to write the scripts ;) The same for accelerators, where we need to adapt them to translated words. Anyway we will have a discussion about it with developers and UX team, once we are out of the 4.4.0 rushes.
