Hi Carsten,
Thanks for the help. I tried your suggestion, with success.

Hi list-members,
In my Hebrew build of m113, I have added an entry to the Writer
"Insert" menu which activates a macro that I've written. I've done
this by modifying sw\uiconfig\swriter\menubar\menubar.xml to include
the following line:
<menu:menuitem
menu:id="vnd.sun.star.script:Tools.DirectionMarkers.Insert_RTL_Footnote?language=Basic&location=application"
menu:helpid="vnd.sun.star.script:Tools.DirectionMarkers.RTL_Footnote?language=Basic&location=application"
menu:label="Something in Hebrew"/>
The label of the entry is in Hebrew, which is fine for the Hebrew
version of OOo. I would like to have an English label for this menu
entry included in the English language pack I'm building.
I tried making seperate subdirectories under
sw/uiconfig/swriter/menubar for en-US and for he, with seperate
versions of menubar.xml in each directory. (I modified d.lst
accordingly.) However, this just caused all the menus to disappear.
How do I get an English label for my macro to appear to in the menu
when I apply the English language pack?
Hi Alan,
the menubar.xml file has no ability to store labels language dependent
for a command. There is only one label attribute and it is used to
store user customizations.
You have to use the <Module>Commands.xcu files located in
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI directory. You have
to decide which modules (Writer,Calc,...) must have access to your
macro. If more than one module must have access, you should use the
GenericCOmmands.xcu file. Add you command to the <Module>Commands.xcu
file in the set "Commands". The node name must be the full command
with protocol. You can use the <value xml:lang="<lang>">Text</value>
entries to add your language specific text. The user interface
automatically uses the command to retrieve the label. Even if your
command is added to a toolbar it would get the label bound to the
command. From our point of view this solution is much smarter than
storing the label inside every xml file.
Regards,
Carsten
