I'm afraid this is not the something which cannot be solved in code
level.

Let's take kscd as an example. There is a "&Next" item in its ui file,
which means "Next track". But scripty won't extract it out, because
scripty thinks it looks the same as the one inside kdelibs.po. In other
hand, "&Next" item inside kdelibs.po represents several meanings such as
"Next page", "Next >", so that we translators can only treat it as the
most commonly used meaning, which is not suitable for kscd.

Of course, a patch to kscd might fix this. But a final solution on such issue
would be better.
