National Language Version Nomenclature: A set of terms, acronyms, icons, or other symbols appearing on keys, switches, and labels. An example of nomenclature is the Alt symbol that appears on the alternate shift key on keyboards used in the United States. The padlock symbol (which is an icon or metaphor of Shift lock), the various arrows, and Attn (for the command Attention), are other examples of keyboard nomenclature used in IBM. ISO/IEC Standard 9995:1993 defines 56 symbols which cover most keyboard nomenclature requirements without the need for translation.
