In Dutch you don't need to translate Ctrl, Alt, Shift, as they are
in these terms on our keyboards.
I would not change the S,X,W keys neither.
I got the impression MS did not change it in their translated
programs, and if people use programs of US origin with
languages modules then they are not changed.
BTW the internationalisation ( what a word) modules of
BCB don't change them.
The words Save, Exit, Widget etc.. need to be translated
