Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Abbreviation for Drag 'n Drop

Hi all,

There's no commonly understood abbreviation for DnD in Finnish either, 
but the equivalent of "Shift+drag" would work. (Actually, I'm not sure 
if non-technical English speakers would understand "DnD" either?)

Heiko, is there any character limit on the translated string?

I also think that Shift should be written first, because that's the 
usual convention (and it's the logical order: you need to hold Shift 
before dragging).
