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.
A workaround might be to use the available command-line tools to harvest localized strings from the nibs and place them in *.strings files in your script bundle. This ties the script to a particular version of the target application, but could be updated automatically if you wrote a script to do it.
