non-english menus on OS X

Hi all,

short question...

 From the "What's new" of RR 2.1:

> - OS X applications now automatically delete the last two lines in the 
> second menu of a stack's menu bar,

Looks like this ONLY appeals if the name of the scond menu = "Edit", 
which definitively sucks in a
german/french/dutch etc... application ;-)

In that case the "Preferences" stays part of THAT "Bearbeiten" (= 
german for edit) menu...
and is not moved to the app-menu...

"Help" (Hilfe) and "About" seem to work...

Can anyone confirm that?

Or give a hint what i am doing wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance...
