That should have worked - there is no reason why a menu shouldn't show
localized strings.  My guess is that something strange is going on with
character sets/fonts so that the display code is drawing the text incorrectly.

It doesn't need any localisation code - you localize the strings that you use
to set the menu item titles and key equivalents, and the menu should just use
the strings you gave it.
