          @donho, the problem with some untranslated text is solved, but I don’t know why. Even with RC2 the text was corrupted on one PC, as in RC1. But removing the folder “c:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++” when NP++ was closed recreated that folder after starting NP++. Also the language file there (nativeLang.xml) is still the same size and content.

            @schnurlos ,

            but I don’t know why.

            The right click menu is defined by contextMenu.xml. If you hadn’t blown away your AppData for v8.4.9-RC1 but you did blow it away for v8.4.9-RC2, then when you ran v8.4.9-RC2 it recreated a fresh contextMenu.xml, which is likely what fixed the connection between contextMenu.xml and the nativeLang.xml translations.

            Your contextMenu.xml was most likely out-of-date previously (which is why Don’s fresh test worked for him but your experience showed those lines weren’t translated.

              @PeterJones You’re right.
              But this could also happen to other users who like me always just upgrade without doing a complete reinstall … that is unfortunately a bit misleading.
              My “old” contextMenu.xml was dated 08-05-2021, the new one is from 01-17-2022.
              But thanks for that tip.

                Thank you for your heads up. Fixed now.

If you hadn’t blown away your AppData for v8.4.9-RC1 but you did blow it away for v8.4.9-RC2, then when you ran v8.4.9-RC2 it recreated a fresh contextMenu.xml, which is likely what fixed the connection between contextMenu.xml and the nativeLang.xml translations.

                @schnurlos
                Just try to complete the above information provided by @PeterJones : In new version of contextMenu.xml, the attribute TranslateID has been added - this attribute and its value are necessary for the translation.

                  Changing the localization away from the default of English seems to result in the tab-bar right-click context menu NOT being translated into the current localization’s language. It always remains in English even though the text on the rest of the Notepad++ UI has been changed into the selected localization.

                  NOTE: This is simply with the default tab-bar context menu, no customization.

                  NOTE: This is unrelated to “context menu” posts in this thread. Those were discussing editor window right-click context menu. Here’s I’m talking about when you right-click a file tab in the “tab bar”.

                      I think @Alan-Kilborn is referring to the new tabContext menu. At least, it sounds like the new feature.

It always remains in English even though the text on the rest of the Notepad++ UI has been changed into the selected localization.

                        It DOES work for these localizations:

                        • brazilian_portuguese, bulgarian, chineseSimplified, corsican, croatian, czech, english, french, german, japanese, polish, portuguese, russian, slovak, taiwaneseMandarin, turkish, ukrainian

                        But NOT for these:

                        • abkhazian, afrikaans, albanian, arabic, aragonese, aranese, azerbaijani, basque, belarusian, bengali, bosnian, breton, catalan, danish, dutch, esperanto, estonian, extremaduran, farsi, finnish, friulian, galician, georgian, greek, gujarati, hebrew, hindi, hongKongCantonese, hungarian, indonesian, irish, italian, kabyle, kannada, kazakh, korean, kurdish, kyrgyz, latvian, ligurian, lithuanian, luxembourgish, macedonian, malay, marathi, mongolian, nepali, norwegian, nynorsk, occitan, piglatin, punjabi, romanian, samogitian, sardinian, serbian, serbianCyrillic, sinhala, slovenian, spanish, spanish_ar, swedish, tagalog, tajikCyrillic, tamil, tatar, telugu, thai, urdu, uyghur, uzbek, uzbekCyrillic, venetian, vietnamese, welsh, zulu

                        I suppose it is just a matter of the translations “catching up”, but it seems like for the out-of-date ones that there is no new text for the UI, so it could have been autogenerated for the tab bar context menu, from the existing entries. In other words, why make the translators translate again something they’ve done once?

                        Example: Close on the File menu has a translation already. Close on the tab bar context menu could have been “ported” from the translation on the File menu:

                          It seems that those translations where this is not working are just not up to date …
                          Just check f.e. the english.xml and the africaans.xml in the lokalization folder and search for text "<Item CMDID=“41003"”.
                          In my german.xml that text is translated and for this also working.

                            Yes, I said this. I also said that there isn’t much of a reason for being out of date, as all translations (well, probably not “all”, but “most”) are known already.

                              That is part for the translators which (like me) are doing that for free:
                              https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/category/6/translation
                              https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/binary-translation/
                              https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/PowerEditor/installer/nativeLang/afrikaans.xml

                              So if you want to update and share the africaans.xml just go ahead!
