Avoid translating standard menus items in XCode project

I have an XCode project, with the XIB interface files built using Interface Builder. I'm building localized XIB files by using ibtool to extract strings, translating them, and using ibtool again to build localized XIB files.

However, doing this means I have to translate all items in the application menus, including those that are completely standard (File, Save, Open, Minimize, etc.). Is there a way to avoid that?

Solution

  • So, apparently no way around this.
