Regarding i18n but slight segue... Is there a reason the effort is
made to update the menu on language change, when to change the
language in the actual window will require a restart? Would it not be
better to just have it than when the language is changed in the list a
dialog pops up saying "Kicad must be restarted to change language...
restart now?" This would remove confusion as to why only parts of the
program reflect the new language
