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)
