Here is a way: ------------------------------------------------------------------ from Tkinter import * root = Tk() mb = Menu(root) root.configure(menu=mb) fm = Menu(mb) mb.add_cascade(label='File', menu=fm) def chlg(): mb.entryconfigure(1, label='Fichier') fm.entryconfigure(1, label='Changer de langue') fm.entryconfigure(2, label='Quitter') fm.add_command(label='Change language', command=chlg) fm.add_command(label='Quit', command=root.quit) root.mainloop() ------------------------------------------------------------------ Note that the entry indices start at 1 because of the 'tearoff' entry that is always created in a menu. If you specify the option tearoff=0 when creating the menus, indices will start ot 0. But Marc's answer still applies: it's a lot of work for something that will usually be configured once. So requiring to restart the tool when the UI language changes should be acceptable. > Thanks, > Phil HTH -- python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in 'U(17zX(%,5.zmz5(17l8(%,5.Z*(93-965$l7+-'])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
