Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translation of the names of the keys on Windows

Hi

Since we have Asturian keyboard available under Linux, LibO Help is
translated to match such translated keys, so no problem with that.

Hopefully, somewhere in the future Asturian kb will be available as
Unicode standard keyboard, which may ease i18n/l10n work. We are
working on that, and perhaps when CLDR is open again for new data
submissions we can include it.

Best regards
