Actually it does : http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/05/msg00011.html This said, I think that translating the Debian menu is a terrible waste, since either the equivalent Desktop entries are either already translated, or if they are not, then the translator's work on the Debian menu entry is not directly forwardable upstream. As suggested in this thread an earlier, a possible compromise between the current duplication of work (two menu files) and dropping completely the Debian menu system would be to modify it to use natively Desktop menu entries. There is already a wiki page that lists similarities and differences: http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/DebianMenuUsingDesktopEntries That would require a C programmer to work on the Debian menu system. Perhaps it could be a project for the Google Summer of Code ? If we go that direction, I volunteer to help for the huge transition.
