Thank you very much for this partial delivery. It was published to CVS today.
Translating SQL software is always a very special case. Because users need to
be able to write the SQL queries themselves, it is recommanded to preserve
words like "View", "Triggers", etc... unless the word in your language is
quite close or widely accepted.
For example, in French, I kept "Vue" for "View". On the converse, I kept the
English word for "Trigger".
About shortcuts: the recommanded way is to keep the same shortcut letters,
otherwise drop them (unless you test them in the application, but you will
never be sure not to break something somewhere).
