Bug#282526: libgtk2.0-0: i18n bug in itemfactory menu accelerators

[Jason Dorje Short]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.4.13-1
Severity: normal


If I use an itemfactory to create a menu, and give the menu 
accelerators (like "<shift>n" or "space" in the itemfactoryentry array) 
then these accelerators are shown on the menu (as "Shift+N" or 
"space").  However they are not translated!  In the above examples 
"Shift" and "space" should be translated ('N' should remain as 'N', of 
course).  It seems like only the GTK library can do this translation: 
translating it before passing the itemfactoryentry to GTK would not 
help matters.

Is this a bug in GTK?  Is there something different I can do to get 
these menu accelerators translated?

I know itemfactory is deprecated but this bug (if it is a bug) should 
still be fixed.
