for localization purposes, i'd like to programatically change all of my app's menu item titles.

the above code works fine for everything except the menu bar titles (like "File", "Edit", "Window", etc.)... when i click on these objects in IB i've noticed it's displaying the title of the "NSMenu" instead of the title for "NSMenuItem" in IB, but i can't seem to hook it up to NSMenu, so i'm not sure if this is possible.
The text that appears in the menu bar is taken from the title of the NSMenu, and not the NSMenuItem. To change the title of the "Edit" menu, you would write [[[[NSApp mainMenu] itemAtIndex:2] submenu] setTitle:@"New Title"] .
Before Leopard, there was a bug where the initial title was taken from the NSMenu, but changes to the NSMenuItem title affected the menu bar text. This got fixed in Leopard, and the NSMenu's title is always used now. For maximum compatibility with pre-Leopard OSes, set both to be the same.
