Hi all,

There's no commonly understood abbreviation for DnD in Finnish either, but the equivalent of "Shift+drag" would work. (Actually, I'm not sure if non-technical English speakers would understand "DnD" either?)

Heiko, is there any character limit on the translated string?

I also think that Shift should be written first, because that's the usual convention (and it's the logical order: you need to hold Shift before dragging).

Hi,
Since there is no commonly accepted Bulgarian abbreviation for drag and
drop, I would translate "DnD+Shift" as "Shift+плъзгане" (Shift+drag),
leaving "and drop" to be only implied. Maybe something similar would be
suitable for other languages?

Some effort is currently made by Jim to allow drag'n drop from the
Navigator not
just as link but also to get cross-references into the document. Users can
trigger the function via pup-up menu or per accelerator. And to give a
clue
about the latter we should add some text to the menu, which could be
"Insert as
Text Reference (DnD+Shift)" (for the full list of commands see attachment
to
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36310#c21).

Now I wonder if DnD for Drag'n Drop is well-known and easy to translate.
German
could be "Ziehen & Ablegen" abbreviated to "Z&A" - which users would never
understand. Any idea?
