Summary0002486: Menu "Preferences..." entry changes depending on language
DescriptionIf you use English (default) as your FreeCAD language the "Preferences..." menu entry is located under FreeCAD menu and it allows you to shortcut it with cmd+, but if you have set any other language the menu entry moves under "Edit" menu which is inconsistent, it should be placed inside FreeCAD menu as all OS X apps... or if not possible due to any coding limitation move it to "Edit" so that it is always on the same place.

Please check with latest master if this is fixed now.

Solved!
Anyway, the word "Preferences..." is showed in English instead of in Spanish: "Preferencias..."

Thanks

That the text is now in English might come from the OS itself.

I have surfed FreeCAD_es-ES.ts and I think is a simple "space error": now it is written:
    <message>
        <source>&Preferences ...</source>
        <translation>&Preferencias...</translation>
    </message>

While deleting the space between "Preferences" and "..." would detect the text string and translate it. That is:
    <message>
        <source>&Preferences...</source>
        <translation>&Preferencias...</translation>
    </message>

Could it be that?

 No.

Obviously it was translated before setting the menu role of the action to "PreferencesRole".
The source in the C++ indeed says "&Preferences ...", i.e. there is a space in between.

So, you should revert your changes in the .ts file. Then try to replace the "PreferencesRole" with "ApplicationSpecificRole" and check if the text is kept in Spanish.

FYI, in the screenshot the "About FreeCAD" is in Spanish and there we used the "ApplicationSpecificRole" instead of the "AboutRole". Maybe this does the trick.

I haven't tried with my own build... I just had a look at the .ts file and thought it was because of the space, because on OSX it has no space.
I have tried the last development build and the issue that opened this bug thread is fixed, do you want me to open a new one in order to solve this "language" problem?

No, there is no need to open a new ticket. When the menu item was part of the Edit menu it was kept in Spanish and it must be an OSX functionality that automatically sets it to English when it becomes part of the OSX menu -- which I guess is expected because your system language is English.

All what we can try is to "outwit" OSX not to replace the menu text. Therefore open the file CommandStd.cpp and go to the function 

Action * StdCmdDlgPreferences::createAction(void)
{
    Action *pcAction = Command::createAction();
    pcAction->setMenuRole(QAction::PreferencesRole);
    return pcAction;
}

And replace "PreferencesRole" with "ApplicationSpecificRole". If this doesn't work then there is nothing more we can do. Am I right that you are able to compile the sources yourself?

Btw, when using any other application whose language is set to Spanish how does it show the "Preferences" menu item -- in English or in Spanish?

This answers the question how to translate the application menu entries:

Commit 3e1ce240 prepares FreeCAD to translate the OSX application menu. Now it's a matter of doing the actual translation on crowdin.
