How to disable / translate system menu (Preferences, Hide,...)

[flashbob]

Is it possible to deactivate menu items such as "preferences", "about", "Hide..." etc. on Mac?

And, is there a way to display the system menu (preferences, etc.) in a different language?

And, is there a way to display the system menu (preferences, etc.) in a different language?

You may try my old example from 2015 which demonstrates how to display a German system menu.

Beginning with MacOS 'Ventura' Apple has renamed "Preferences" to "Settings". Therefore in MacOS 'Ventura' and newer you have to change the line

Code: Select all

      ElseIf Left(SubmenuTitle, 11) = "Preferences"

to

Code: Select all

      ElseIf Left(SubmenuTitle, 8) = "Settings"

in order to translate "Settings" to your translated text (in German "Voreinstellungen...").

Great, thank you very much, that helps.

If we need Cocoa for something like that in PB, it's really not implemented well ...
