To translate the file semi-literally, could you tell me what is
"sunt5-trqalt"? Is it one kind of Turkish keyboard like trfu and trqu?
IIRC, my current translation of this file is based on the contents of
en.po. But these five new entries in en.po are also fuzzied.

I do want to translate all these keyboard names in a clear way, but the
maintainer or author should either provide a translated en.po or comment
the template properly. As a non-europe resident, my guess may be wrong,
especially for these tricky names.

Thanks.
