As you probably know, YaST does not accept "special" characters for
shortcuts or memnotics.  Most languages handle it properly.  Thomas just
added this comment to "Bug 673042 - cyrillic and greek access-keys do
not work in installer":

    The whole yast framework supports A-Z, a-z and 0-9 for shortcuts
    only. Adding support for non-latin characters would affect a lot of
    code.

    Non-latin characters are not supported on purpose. You never know
    which particular characters are available on the current
    keyboard. That's the reason why only A-Z, a-z and 0-9 are allowed.

    The best way to offer shortcuts for languages with non-latin
    characters is to append e.g. "(N)" as proposed by Karl in comment
    #1.

Cheers,
Karl
