This ticket has popped up on my radar again at work, and I still have a hard time believing that I have to translate things like "File", "Edit", "Undo", "Special Characters", etc myself.

Is that really the case?

Thanks,

Dave

Obviously, if I add my own NSMenuItems, I have to localize them myself.  Some menuitems seem to be translated automatically (Undo, Redo, Special Characters), while others don't (Find, Spelling, Services).  Is there any rhyme or reason to why some menuitems get localized without intervention and others don't?  Do I, for example, need to manually localize "About MyApp", "MyApp Help", "Hide MyApp", "File" (the menu title), "Edit" (menu title), etc?
