Do not be confused by hotkeys and accelerator keys.

In this case, this is not a hotkey, but an accelerator key for the
current menu item.

When exist, hotkeys do not appear in menu strings in sources.
They are dynamically added to these strings at run time, because they
are editable by users.


I am using the option 1 in French translations.
