This is actually an effect of

Shouldn't we open a bug for that? Or maybe that's already been filed?
I think the main point of the original post got lost a bit along the way.
We already have a collection of stock menu (including strings) and
menubar items in GTK+ to prevent introducing (and translating) these
~100[1] strings again and again, so the question is, why is it not being
used. I can see a few different options here.
1) Developers don't like using them, because it puts a part of their
program out of their control or something like that (unlikely I would
say as GNOME is already built up around a set of shared libs).
SOLUTION: Not much we can do about that unless the use of them made a
priority by including them in a GNOME style guide or made a gnome goal
or something like that.
2) Developers aren't aware of them or forget about them in the heat of
writing brilliant code.
SOLUTION: In that case we (translators) should then be making bugs for
each module individually.
3) Developers forgot about them in the transition to GMenu. Unlikely I
would say, that if they already used them that they wouldn't use them
again if it was possible.
SOLUTION: In any case the solution is the same as above
3) A bug in GMenu (or elsewhere) that prevents the use of them.
SOLUTION: So to answer Piotr, yes, I think we should definitely file a
bug about it. Then we just need to make sure that GMenu is the right
place to file it.
4) Some technically unsolvable issue with GMenu that prevents using them.
"SOLUTION": Moping :(
So if there anyone here that can shed some light on which one of them is
the right explanation?
