title: Strategies for localising keyboard shortcuts
body: <p>I'm currently involved in a heavily localised WPF application and we've had a bug raised about keyboard shortcuts on menus in non-English languages. The bug referred to modifer key names (<kbd>Shift</kbd>, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, etc.) not being translated, which is easy enough to fix. </p>
  
  <p>However, this got me thinking about the shortcut keys themselves, which are often based on the first letter of the command, except where this isn't feasible due to clashes or convention. When the command names are localised this link between the commands and their respective shortcuts will usually be lost:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is this worth worrying about?</li>
  <li>How do existing major applications cope with this problem?</li>
  <li>Are there any other issues to consider in this case?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Although this question was inspired by a WPF app, I'm more interested in the general case.</p>
