Talk:Mnemonics Localisation

To try to solve the problem of duplicate or unusual mnemonics in the product the StarOffice QA team has created a testtool script which is able to detect changes in the mnemonics menu entries which may erroneously occur during translation. The menu items (first level) should have - as far as possible - the same mnemonics for both consistency and usability reasons.

Do menu items (first level) refer :

1. to menu entries in the menu bar (File, Edit, ...)
2. to first level menu items in menus (New, Open, ...) ?

Does it means :

1. the menu items should have the same mnemonics across OOo applications (Writer, Calc, ...)
2. the menu items should have the same mnemonics across languages (~File, ~Fichier)

> the menu items should have the same mnemonics across OOo applications (Writer, Calc, ...) Yes i think so

> the menu items should have the same mnemonics across languages (~File, ~Fichier) no i do not think so (cause this is hardly possible: ~File, Bestand (dutch))

Is it possible to enhance this testtool script to detect duplicates and give them an other background colour in the mnemonics tables?
