I doubt it, but I will look at it.  I suspect the original 
libmenu code didn't make it into the CVS tree and even if it
did, there was significant changes to menuc since then.

I have considered this ... that to get multi-language we have to
replicate the entire specification.  I was wondering if there
couldn't be a way to specify the multi-lingual text in the same
definition.   Something like:

   .....
   option {en: "english text", fr: "french text", ...}, ....;
