Yes, shortcuts in German will differ from the English version. That  
is expected.

You should choose the best available choice based on the characters  
in the German word.
As you suggested for the English work Close, &Schliessen would be a  
good choice.

If you wanted to preserve the &c keyboard shortcut for the German  
version you
would then use S&chliessen.

We currently have translations for French, Finnish, and Swedish.

You might find it helpful to browse the gettext po localization files  
to see how other translators
handled these type of issues.
