Internationalizing the menu-bar is doable. It would be a lot of work, but that need not be an obstacle, because it doesn't need to be complete to be useful. If a team of translators adopts sensible priorities for which doc strings to work on first, their work could be useful even if they have covered only 1% of the doc strings.
