Give an option in the translation, where allow the program add the Accelerator Key.
e.g. translating "Pa&use" to Simplified Chinese is "暂停", but for the most appropriate translation "&u" must included, which make the translation become "暂停 (&U)".
However, when come like string "&Preview..." translated, it will looks like "预览 (&P)...", the 3 dots always come last.

If this can be done without manually typing, it would be greatly helpful.

Best regards,
Jixun.

P.S. Sorry for my poor English :biggrin:
P.S.2. In "Name;Ext;Size;Type; ... ;Len; ... ;Dupes; ...", what does "Len" and "Dupes" means? "Len" seems like the the file-name length +3, and no idea about "Dupes"..

Hi and welcome!

Are you translating XY into Simplified Chinese? That would be great! :biggrin:

Is it the usual practice in Chinese software that Accelerator Keys are appended in parentheses like your example "暂停 (&U)"? In that case I would just add such a function to the ITT.

Obviously it is the practice in Korean, as far as I have noticed yesterday. Most probably a widespread practice for East Asia languages.

Indeed. In Korean they are appended without a separating space before them, in the Chinese examples above there is a space. Not sure what to make out of this.

Hi, Jixun :)
Len stands for "lenght", as you guessed correctly. It shows the length of the file name, including the full path.
Dupes are "duplicates".

Thanks for the reply.

Yep, with a space can make it more clear to see the Accelerator Keys (In my opinion).
Also in some software translation they put the Accelerator Key in the front "&P. 暫停" but it only looks better under the menu, where as put in the back with brackets can be used in everywhere.
I think to make it better looking, either all with or without a space before the brackets.

Thanks for that, helps a lot :D

btw, I'm not a fast translator..

I see.. It is good to see that because I'm unable to spent many time on this translation project for now, as well as I have exams to do...
Take care, thanks for letting me know :D
