xfdesktop contains translations of menu.xml in many languages.
Many of them, including the Hungarian, are quite outdated, they still reflect
the 4.0 version.

Taking a look at it, it seems to me that all these files could be updated with
a simple script without the help of translators all around the world, since
no (or hardly any) translateable string was changed, only icons were inserted,
examples updated etc...

As a result, when I first started Xfce 4.2 in Hungarian, I was disappointed
as I had a menu which didn't have any icons and hence didn't bring what I
expected from the new Xfce.

And to my biggest surprise when I entered the Menu editor and then quit it,
suddenly my menu changed completely so that it became English and then it had
nice icons.

I think it is important that foreing speaking people see this nicer menu for
the first time, even if translators couldn't catch up with their jobs.

that's a good point - i should have removed the files that hadn't been updated.

as for the script... wanna write it? ^_^  if i don't have time, i'll remove them
for 4.2.1.

I'm going to close this - I've removed the old .xml files from the release.  If
people want to translate the new menu.xml file, they can feel free.
