In the left-hand column, 'b' means that you press the B key on your
keyboard, whereas 'B' means that you hold down Shift and press the B
key.

The parentheses in the text on the right just indicate mnemonics for the
keys. Obviously this won't necessarily carry over well into other
languages, since the keys the user has to press won't change, but the
words probably will. Feel free to discard them in localisations if they
don't make sense; they're for humans to read, they're not a special
machine-parsed markup like "Transform to %s" or "Cen_ter".

Since the keys won't change, I wouldn't expect the order of rows in the
translation to change either.
