The error may be due to the double assignment of keys in the source code and the lack of comments for translators that explain to them what the "&" characters are needed for.

Just had a look at other translations , many of them had the wrong double assignments simply taken over, made completely free associations or left out "&" at all.

So in order to ensure the quality of translations and to keep the ALT navigation working across different locales we should
* Fix double assignments in the source (this bug)
* Add help text for translators to the source, not just for the strings relevant to the "&" char, but for misleading strings too (new bug to file)

summary: - Menu navigation with Alt key in German MIxxx
+ Menu navigation with Alt key broken with duplicate keybindings

Huh, why exactly this bug was set to invalid and converted to a question? As outlined in comment #1, this bug applies not only to German Translation.

Patch looks good, jus. I'm going to rename this bug now to remind us to give the translators some context.
