I'am looking for the sentence that I could translate better.

Some sentences do not all have the same "configuration".

Code: Select all

Close News Log window (hotkey: 'V')

Code: Select all

Layout Plan Library (hotkey: F7)
As you can see, sometimes there is an apostrophe, and sometimes not.

Code: Select all

Click here to set the manager of this firm (hotkey: 'z').

Code: Select all

Set up a new production for this firm (hotkey: A).
The shortcut letter is sometimes lower case, sometimes upper case. There is no "consensus".

Code: Select all

Hotkey: 'D' or F10
Why " D " has an apostrophe en " F10" not ?

Note :
There is the same "problem" in a tuto
tut07

Code: Select all

To see the effect of R&D on your manufacturing operations, press ~shortcut key '5'~ to set the game speed to ~the Fastest~.
tuto08

Code: Select all

Press the shortcut key ~B~ to open the the Build menu now.

In the next version 7.0.00 all alphabetic shortcut keys will be displayed in this format "hotkey: <key>" consistently. For example, "hotkey: A"

It means that this help message only has the topic line. Most of the help messages have a topic and a description. Some help messages are so simple in meanings that they do not need any descriptions.

Code: Select all

STKSORT
Change Sort Order 
Click on a column header to sort the stock list. 

The stock list refers to the list of stocks on the stock exchange screen.
