Bonjour Damien,

MenuHistory seems, at first sight the straight way but, actually, it is 'hardcoded' as would be 'Cut' or 'Paste': This means that you can't modify your menus, inverting two menu items or adding a new one, for instance without modifying your code. It's the reason why I suggested the lineoffset approach: the code will adjust itself to any modification :-)

To be more precise, I am used to keep not only menus but hundreds of strings in several Roman languages to set an interface. I keep them in a ciphered external file (actually a simple tab tab return table, the first column of which is an ID) and load into a global this first column and the column that corresponds to the chosen language. Then a function can return easily the right string in the right language according to an ID reference.

I've got this little freeware app for backing up files from an iPod, and one of my french users has asked about localizing it. I've read through the past threads on the list, and I've got a decent custom property scheme working for all the bits and pieces in the UI.
However, I'm wondering about the menus - this is on OS X.

Take the 'Edit' menu. Setting the label of btn "Edit" to "Édition" (extracted from my cp set) at start up is no problem, but then I need to replace the menuItems "Cut, Copy, Paste" with their localized counterparts, and also respond to the menuPick messages for each. This seems quote complicated. Has anyone some advice they can give me?

Also, if anyone has the time, ability and inclination to help with translating the 20 words and phrases used into any other languages that would be amazing.

Thanks,

Mark_______________________________________________

Hello Mark,

In order to translate a menu, you have to work with "menuhistory".
This function will return to you the position in the menu of the entry selected.

This is the script that I ever use in my translated menu.

on menupick
switch (the menuhistory of me)
case 1
-- script of the first menu entry.
break
case 2
-- script for the second menu entry
break
end switch
end menupick

Note: About the menuhistory, line delimiter are considered like menu item.
Example:
Cut      --> 1
Copy   --> 2
Paste   --> 3
(-         --> 4
Preference --> 5

--------------------

I am French, I can try to translate you some sentence from English to French.
