I have an AppleScript that clicks a menu item under Keynote's file menu. This works great. The problem is when I localize it.


The working version of the script is as follows:

if (exists menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1) then click menu item "Export…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1


The localized version is this:

set localizedFileString to localized string "File"
set localizedExportString to localized string "Export…"

if (exists menu item localizedExportString of menu 1 of menu bar item localizedFileString of menu bar 1) then click menu item localizedFileString of menu 1 of menu bar item localizedFileString of menu bar 1


"Export" is in Keynote's dictionary and will translate to German, but "File" is not in Keynote's dictionary and won't translate. Does file belong to the Finder? What I want to know is how to translate "File" so that I can use it in my localized AppleScript.


Thank you.


Why are you using the name of the menu?
I use the index.

if (exists menu item localizedExportString of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1) then click menu item localizedFileString of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1
