Localizing shell32/shv_item_cmenu.c:ISvItemCm_fnQueryContextMenu

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

if I right click in the file open dialog, select a file and right click, 
I get a context menu with English menu items.
Expected: I'll get a localized menu (e.g. in German).

Any idea how to get a localized version?

PS: the _InsertMenuItem function, defined in the same file, uses 
InsertMenuItemA, one might want to change this to InsertMenuItemW.

You'd have to internationalize that piece of code. As you already found, 
it'd need to be unicodified :) and then you can use the Win32 string 
loading APIs to get the right strings.

Unfortunately the Win32 i10n APIs are far less convenient than gettext, 
but there are examples dotted around the source. I think kernel/user has 
some?

Feel free to write a patch ...
