I18N question about shortcuts.

[Paul Elliott <pelliott@io.com>]

I am writting a program in gtkmm. Code that creates menu items typically
looks like this:

    menulist.push_back( Gtk::Menu_Helpers::MenuElem("_Edit",
      sigc::mem_fun(*this, &TreeView_WithPopup::on_menu_file_popup_generic)=
 ) );
    menulist.push_back( Gtk::Menu_Helpers::MenuElem("_Process",
      sigc::mem_fun(*this, &TreeView_WithPopup::on_menu_file_popup_generic)=
 ) );
    menulist.push_back( Gtk::Menu_Helpers::MenuElem("_Remove",
      sigc::mem_fun(*this, &TreeView_WithPopup::on_menu_file_popup_generic)=
 ) );

The character "_" in menu element names means that the character
following will be a keyboard shortcut. But these characters must
not be duplicated for a given menu.

Do translators know how "_" is used to define shortcuts and how to
choose "_" character to avoid duplications?

What comments are appropriate to inform translators what is going on?

Any sample code with appropriate comments?
