Just to clarify, it is actually _possible_ to get these translated. I've
made a gnome-menus.pot for translation and put it in ubuntu/menus. It
could even be put in the pot file for the desktopguide and then
separated out again later. The question is whether it is worth the
effort... I'm not convinced it is, in the end only one or two entities
will be used and the translation process will be a little tricky,
especially recreating all those ubuntu/menus/C/*xml files...
