OK, now that it's over, I can say that it definitely was. I made a lot more noise talking about the problem and thinking my way in circles to work around the problem (it turns out the "Play" shortcut that made my spine run cold is actually "Multimedia Play" and there was never any conflict there at all) than I did just fixing it correctly. The code was trivial, and the impact it had on the translation was minimal. I ran through all the changes very fast and got my translation back up to 100% in less than 20 minutes. Most of that time was spent either fixing mistakes where I had translated keyboard shortcuts by mistake the first time around, or redoing the I, II, III strings. It wasn't technically necessary to change the I, II, III strings, but I like things better with no accelerators, and at least there is only one new set to re-translate instead of three new sets. Incidentally, I'm looking at the German translation, and I see that it is broken, or at least according to the Qt docs it should be broken. Someone (presumably Thorsten) translated all the keyboard shortcuts. Maybe it works, but the Qt docs state that it should not, so I'm correcting that. I have tested with Spanish that if I put "Ctrl+Shift+X" in for the translation (just copying the original string, because I prefer to have something in every slot to make it clear I meant to mark that as finished) then at runtime Qt will show me "Ctrl+May"X" as is suitable for this language. -- D.
