The German translation of Merkaator 0.11 (latest binary) changes the keyboard shortcuts and makes some keyboard shortcuts unusable.
The shortcuts for Download (Ctrl-D) and and Donwload More (Ctrl-Shift-D) are displayed as a single "D" in the menu. Neither pressing D, nor Ctrl-D nor any other combination works.
The Ctrl-Modifier seems to be missing in general. Ctrl-R for new road and Ctrl-N for new node is also displayed as single R resp. N. The shortcut works, but also only as plain R resp. N, not as Ctrl-R resp. Ctrl-N.
Alt-S for splitting a road doesn't work at all because the english main menu item "Road" is translated as "Strae" having the S as shortcut defined (standard Windows behavior). Pressing Alt-S just pops up the Road/Strae menu.
Other languages may be affected, too. Translators should check the main menu item shortcuts against the defined global shortcuts.
Having global Alt-key shortcut combinations is actually not the best idea since it is standard Windows behavior to open main menu entries like this. But it is definitely too late to change the established Alt-S, Alt-J etc. shortcuts.
A workaround is switching to English user interface by renaming the merkaator*.qm file.

Looks good! Ctrl-D and Ctrl-Shift-D as well as Ctrl-N and Ctrl-R are displayed correctly in the menu items and the according shortcuts work as expected.
Alt-S is still not working since it seems to be in conflict with Alt-S for the "Strae" menu (which doens't popup anymore either now).
Alt-B for Break apart/Zerlegen probably conflicts with the "Bearbeiten" menu.
Alt-A for Align/Ausrichten probably conflicts with the "Ansicht" menu.
You should assign different main menu shortcuts, maybe Alt-T for Srae, Alt-E for Barbeiten. Or is it possible to disable main menu item shortcuts at all? I guess nobody is really going to use it...
Ctrl-L for Toggle Layers (Ebenen) in the Window menu still displays a plain L and also reacts on plain L, which is not good when typing tags.
