Translation of the names of the keys on Windows

But what if the physical keyboards for the non-English language still
have the "Ctrl", "Home" etc texts untranslated? This is the case for
the Swedish/Finnish keyboard, for instance. (And I doubt anybody is
complaining...)

As I am certainly not a typical user myself, I have no idea if a
typical user here is more confused by seeing a shortcut key called
"Ohjaus+S" or "Ctrl+S". Hmm, at least in a Swedish XP virtual machine
(the only localised Windows I have), the shortcuts in for example
Notepad are shown like "Ctrl+S", so I guess for Swedish the convention
is to use the same text as on the physical keyboard.

Apple gets around the problem by using symbols for their shift, ctrl,
alt and cmd keys in shortcut descriptions in menus etc;) (See
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343 ) .

Do the Catalan keyboards have the "Ctrl" etc texts in Catalan? If not,
isn't it counter-productive to use a different text in shortcut names?
But I guess national pride goes before usability? (/me hides)
