Hi Carlo,

Thanks for the feedback:

Hmmm, odd... The code source looks correct, the .pot file has all  
these strings, but the it.po file I'm looking at here is missing the  
entries. These strings go way back, so I can't imagine this is a  
recent change (unless they only recently went in as Italian strings).  
I'll poke some more through the other language .po files.

Code is good, but I can confirm that "Create" is missing from the .pot  
file, apologies, must be my bad as I added the localisation resources  
into Physics :-) I need to work on new toolbars so will fix this at  
the same time.

Code is good, but I can confirm that "Miscellaneous" is missing from  
the .pot file, again not a recent addition so this must have been  
missing since way back, I can gat this one fixed.

I try to do some testing in a second language (usually Spanish) but  
it's easy for me to not notice something. These kind of reports are  
really useful so thanks again for taking the time to test and send  
feedback!!

Regards,
