Localize system menu (Mac OS) [message #1841460]

Hi all,
I've a pure E4 application. If I start the product (My.app), the system menu appears for a short while in localized form. After the application has completely started, the system menu is in English, but all other menu entries are in their localized form. How can I fix this? I tried to create some entries in Resources/de.lproj, but this didn't help.
I've attached the menu short after launching the application and after completely loaded.
Any hints are welcome.

Kind regards,
Ralf.

Eclipse provides all GUI elements in English.

To have Eclipse GUI localized, I just install the Babel language pack for Eclipse.
Find the correct Babel update site for your version of Eclipse:
https://archive.eclipse.org/technology/babel/babel_language_packs/R0.19.2/
for example, I am using 2021-12, the update site is:
https://archive.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/R0.19.2/2021-12/
(if your Eclipse version is older, you need an older Babel pack)

In Eclipse, Help->Install Software
use button "Add"
name=Babel
url=https://archive.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/R0.19.2/2021-12/
open [Babel Language Packs for eclipse]
and select the language you need
[Next] install

This will translate the Eclipse IDE itself to your language. My app does support (en,fr,es) - and if you provide local properties (plugin_es.properties, en, fr,de) it will be localized based automatically based on OS settings. To debug, you can override locale setting using a parameter (add to your launch setting "-nl de"). This is useful, if you have an US (en) keyboard layout.

hope this helps,
Thomas
