Translating Keyboard Controls in Killbots

To effectively use the keyboard to control Killbots. the movement keys must be
assigned to a 3 by 3 grid of adjacent keys. In KDE 4.2, the basic directional
controls were assigned to Q,W,E,A,S,D,Z,X,C,(the leftmost block of letter keys
on a QWERTY keyboard). Special action keys were assigned to those just right
of this block. The keys of the numeric keypad were added as an alternate set.

It was quickly noticed that while the QWE... keys were convenient for those
with American-style keyboards, they were of little to no use to those on other
layouts where the keys might be spread about at random. Also most laptop users
do not have numeric keypads, so for a large percentage of users neither set
of default shortcuts were usable.

As a result I'm asking you, the translators, to translate these keys to their
physical equivalents on the localised keyboard layout. I realise that some
locales might not have their own keyboard layout, while others might have
more than one. In such cases, please choose the layout that is most commonly
found on new keyboards sold in your locale. (Keep in mind that we are only
discussing default key assignments. The user still has the option of
reassigning the shortcuts manually in the Configure Shortcuts dialog.)

The following are some example mappings (taken from Wikipedia):
