The embedded "_" characters indicate accelerator keys used with Alt+<key>, and yes, you do need to take care of this in the translation. Please precede a suitable letter in the translated string with a "_" character. It's best if the accelerator keys can be distinct, although I think GTK+ provides some way to cope if they aren't (possibly just repeatedly pressing the accelerator key; I haven't checked). I'll wait for an amended version before applying this. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
