Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Translation Manager

Defining accelerator keys

Developers should always use an ampersand (&) to define an accelerator key. As the project manager, you should decide and convey to your translators which of the following you want to do:

Choose different accelerator keys based upon the target language. For example, if C is the accelerator key for the English word Close, use F for the French translation, Fermer, and use S for the German translation, Schliessen.
Use the same accelerator key consistently for all languages to support portability. For example, always define C as the accelerator key for Close, no matter what the target language is.
