******************************************************** *** *** *** Menu sections translations *** *** *** ******************************************************** Debian menu includes translations of menu sections names in various languages. The list is available in /etc/menu-methods/lang.h. A) Selecting the language: 1) System-wide: The simplest way is to set up root locales and menu will be translated accordingly. Another solution is to add outputlanguage="xx" in /etc/menu-methods/menu.h where xx is you language code. 2) User-wide: Just run update-menus under the locales of your choice. You can also copy the file /etc/menu-methods/<your favorite wm> to ~/.menu-methods/ and add outputlanguage="xx" where xx is you language code. 3) KDE Make sure menu-xdg is installed and that root locales are not "C". Menu will be translated in all languages at once. The users just need to configure KDE to use their language and menus will follow. B) Problems: There are unfortunately lots of reasons why translations would fail: window-manager not supporting menu translations, not supporting your locale encoding or not supporting user menus. You can try to add outputencoding="LOCALE" at the start of /etc/menu-methods/<your favorite wm> and run update-menus under different locale encodings.
