About 90% of a menu consists of common texts, like "About MyApp",
"Paste", "Find Next", etc.
These common texts should be always translated in the same way. It
would be very confusing to have one app which translates Quit = Beenden
and another which translates Quit = Aufhoeren.
So it would be nice to have a tool which knows the Apple-approved
translation of these commen menu-texts.
This could be used like:
nibtool -L English.lproj/MainMenu.nib > file.strings
translateMenus -to German -i file.strings > file2.strings
Now one would have to translate the special menu strings and other
stuff, and then:
nibtool -d file2.strings -w German.lproj/MainMenu.nib
English.lproj/MainMenu.nib
Does such a tool exist?
Is there a list of the Apple-approved translation of commen menu-texts?
Gerriet.
