Yes vi.po or fr.po (or any po file) will only show accelerators (underscore-preceded characters in interface strings). Just an example : with the string "Fill and Stroke". In the interface, when you open the Object menu, it is displayed as : "_Fill and stroke... Shift+Ctrl+F". "_", the underscore is the accelerator, and is displayed in the po file. "Shift+Ctrl+F" is the shortcut and is not displayed in the po file. - The accelerator is used for the following navigation : from the interface, "Alt+O" will open the Object menu, then "F" will launch the fill&stroke dialog. - The shortcut aims at a more direct navigation from the interface "Shift+Ctrl+F" will directly launch the fill&stroke dialog. > >> If so, it's an intriguing opportunity, because for my language, at > >> least, positioning keyboard accelerators becomes extremely difficult, > >> since most of the language is accented vowels, often with combined > >> diacritics, and according to > >> > >> http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104112 > >> gtk can't handle any non-ASCII keyboard shortcuts.

Your e-mail is very important because it shows us that internationalization of Inkscape will maybe require some more infrastructure work. (see also the following bug : http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1508404&group_id=93438&atid=604306 ) It's maybe time to - list all our problems with internationalization - according to those issues, open a few RFEs/Bugs against GTK or Inkscape Thanks for your remarks Regards, matiphas Using Tomcat but need to do more?
