[issue17776] IDLE Internationalization

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

Ned> IDLE uses some Tk-supplied default menus and menu items

On Windows and *nix, the visible menu labels all come from IDLE.  I don't yet understand what is going on with Mac menus.  Some menu items call the tk file dialog, and the config highlight tab calls the color dialog, and these are localized however they are.  But that does not affect the menus.

Ned> So internationalization of IDLE would need to investigate and make use of Tk i18n features on all supported platforms.

Other than the dialogs mentioned above, (and the font dialog that is not used) I don't know what features you mean.
