##### Translating keyboard shortcuts

When you switch to another language, translating text will remove the original keyboard shortcuts connected to that text. Keyboard shortcuts can be implemented in the translation tool, within the text entered in the column labelled Translation, by entering ‘&’ (the ampersand symbol) before the letter for the shortcut. This is illustrated in the following example.

The following screenshot shows that the French translation of the button in the main menu for Ward definition has been translated to Définition des services. The shortcut has been set to v by placing ‘&’ before the v in services, i.e. Définition des ser&vices.

The following screenshot shows the result of the translation. The button Ward definition has been changed to Définition des services. The shortcut V is indicated by underlining, i.e. Définition des ser v ices. Clicking v here will open the Wards form.

Note that the Wards form is still labelled HelicsWin.Net – Wards. This field is translated in the Translation form in Type FormTitle.
