Description Christian Persch 2007-09-06 19:13:25 UTC 
GTK_STOCK_ABOUT has this translation:

#: ../gtk/gtkstock.c:296
msgid "_About"
msgstr "_Info"

which makes the accel on the capital-I, which is discouraged by the HIG (the underline is just 3 px wide and almost invisible).

Comment 2 Hendrik Richter 2008-08-28 07:34:02 UTC 
Thanks for noticing this, but I don't think we should change every i-mnemonic. Mnemonics should be, as their name suggests, easy to remember, so I think something like _Installieren is much better than I_nstallieren.

It wouldn't be a problem to change this one string to I_nfo, but we use _I, _i or _l in many other places, too. I don't think changing them all is reasonable as we already run out of possibilities (only 26 chars, many strings combined with other strings in different places which leads to conflicts) and I doubt changing shortcuts people are used to is a good idea.

In my opinion #547455 is the way to go.
