So, here's the update:

Apparently, it's already possible to use menu-i18n.js as it is to localize the
menu. We translated the menu to a few languages and it works. To achieve this
we just need to change our code, but we would be happy to send you the
translations that we made to a few languages already. I'm just unsure to which
folder in GitHub to add them.

However, translating the menu alone is not enough. Messages like "Typesetting
math: 45%" cannot be properly localized with the current code for at least two
reasons:

1. Most importantly, they are concatenated on the fly. This will not work in
languages with a different word order.

2. The digits in the percentage are not localized. This is relevant for Arabic,
Persian, Marathi and some other languages.

Our jquery.i18n library has a ready-made solution for both problems - it has a
flexible parameter system that allows any word order and it has automatic digit
localization. So to have complete localization you should either use
jquery.i18n or come up with your own parameter functions.
