Re-hello,

The translation seems to work now. The code is pretty much the same.

static const char right_click_menu_xml[] =
   "<popup name=\"button3\">\n"
   "  <menuitem name=\"Start Recording\" "
   "             verb=\"StartRecording\" "
   "           _label=\"_Start Recording\"/>\n"
   "  <menuitem name=\"Stop Recording\" "
   "             verb=\"StopRecording\" "
   "           _label=\"Sto_p Recording\"/>\n"
   "  <separator/>\n"
   "  <menuitem name=\"About Item\" "
   "             verb=\"MenuAbout\" "
   "           _label=\"_About\"\n"
   "          pixtype=\"stock\" "
   "          pixname=\"gtk-about\"/>\n"
   "</popup>\n";

// Setup menu
panel_applet_setup_menu(PANEL_APPLET(applet), right_click_menu_xml,
applet_menu_verbs, NULL);

BonoboUIComponent *popup_component;
popup_component = panel_applet_get_popup_component(applet);
bonobo_ui_component_set_translate(popup_component, "/",
right_click_menu_xml, NULL);

// Accessibility support
AtkObject *atk_widget = gtk_widget_get_accessible(applet);
if (GTK_IS_ACCESSIBLE(atk_widget)) {
     atk_object_set_name (atk_widget, _("Audio Recorder Application"));
     atk_object_set_description(atk_widget, _("Easy-to-use audio
recording tool"));
}

I also re-started my VirtualBox VM before testing.

Thanks anyway.
