Exactly, because the menu entries are meant as name of the different 
dictionaries.  This is because every dictionary is a dynamically loaded 
plugin, so the menu is also generated dynamically depending on the installed 
dictionaries.

Yes, I know. I haven't found a solution for this. The accelerators in the 
menus Dictionaries->Find... can also not changed because they are generated 
when the menu is generated.

As I said, the text is meant as name of the dictionary.
