Hello Mark,

In order to translate a menu, you have to work with "menuhistory".
This function will return to you the position in the menu of the entry 
selected.

This is the script that I ever use in my translated menu.

on menupick
switch (the menuhistory of me)
case 1
-- script of the first menu entry.
break
case 2
-- script for the second menu entry
break
end switch
end menupick

Note: About the menuhistory, line delimiter are considered like menu item.
Example:
Cut      --> 1
Copy   --> 2
Paste   --> 3
(-         --> 4
Preference --> 5

--------------------

I am French, I can try to translate you some sentence from English to 
French.
