The accelerator text is provided by Windows is it not? Is there any special call I need to do so that the text is translated properly? In my French build of my application, it seems that things like Page Down, Page Up, Space, and Enter still show up in English. I assume Ctrl and single letters do not need to be translated, but even weirder is that [ and ] show up as "Accent circonflexe" and ), so I know somewhere inside of Codejock or Windows, something is being translated for me.

Call CXTPShortcutManager::UseSystemKeyNameText(TRUE) or set m_bUseSystemKeyNameText in CXTPShortcutManager::CXTPShortcutManager to TRUE.

The default for that is FALSE then I take it?

I wish I could test this quicker, but even setting all of my local settings on Windows XP to French/France for keyboard/regional layout stuff still leaves these in English for me anyway.

If I set this to TRUE, then on a *real* French version of Windows XP, these things will be translated automatically and properly, by Windows, am I correct?

Hello

yes, also you can manually translate them:

pCommandBars->GetShortcutManager()->SetKeyNameText(VK_ DOWN, "xxx");
