The specific answer to your question is: The names of menus and menu items are not necessarily in localized *.strings files. They’re usually only within nibs. “localized string” only knows how to look inside *.strings files.

Any solution in sight for scriptors? In a recent discussion it was found out that some often used Apple applications are setting both the 'name' and the 'title' of menu items to the localized string. This makes it impossible to ask for a menu by an unchanging term and consequently one is forced to use an index (which may be unreliable between releases). I'm not sure if nib tools usable for this situation are available on a user setup which doesn't have the Developer tools installed.
