Hello

I added some code to be sure that I am working with the "General Preferences" window.

--[SCRIPT]
set theApp to "Pages"
tell application theApp
set lstr to localized string "Show Inspector"
set lstr to localized string "Hide Inspector"
set lstr to localized string "New Inspector" -- localized unavailable
set lstr to localized string "Preferences…" -- localized unavailable
set lstr to localized string "Centimeter" -- localized unavailable
set lstr to localized string "Smooth Path" -- localized unavailable (stored in UndoStrings.strings)
end tell


tell application theApp
	set pp to localized string "%@ Preferences"
	if pp starts with "%@ " then
		set p to (text 4 thru end of pp)
	else
		set p to (text 1 thru -4 of pp)
	end if

	activate
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process theApp
			click menu item (p & "…") of menu 2 of menu bar 1
			set _ to get name of every window
			repeat with i in _
				if i contains p then
					set wPrefs to i
					exit repeat
				end if
			end repeat

			tell window wPrefs to set bb to title of buttons of UI element 4

			if bb's item 1 is not in wPrefs then
				(* activate "Préférences Général" *)
				click button 1 of UI element 4 of window wPrefs
				set _ to get name of every window
				repeat with i in _
					if i contains p then
						set wPrefs to i
						exit repeat
					end if
				end repeat
			end if

			tell window wPrefs -- fenêtre Préférences
				get properties of pop up button 2
				click pop up button 2 (* Unités de la règle *)
				get properties of UI elements
				-- how may I grab the names of the four menu items
				-- I want to set it to centimeters/centimètres

			end tell -- fenêtre Préférences
		end tell -- process theApp
	end tell -- application System Events
end tell -- application theApp
--[/SCRIPT]
