Hello,

I'm translating qws into dutch, but i have a problem. for example, in
the file menu, the option append is in the translation file as
menu_file_append=App&end ...
                    Can anyone explain me why the & is in the word
                    append?

Hi. If you notice in English, the key 'E' is append in qWs. This is the key that corresponds to that action in the menu. The same way that SAve AS would be SAve &As. The & is the denominater that specifies that the key after it is to be the excelerator. That is why it is app&end and not for example, ap&pend. that would mean that the P key is to be the append menu key, instead of E, however that is Song &properties. I hope that helps.
