You mean old-style options menu which now not supported
and should be removed soon in favour of forms-based options menu
ifdefed with EXP_FORMS_OPTIONS.

>From the other hand, it is not a good idea to translate options menu items
because you need to translate lynx_help/*.*, lynx.cfg, .rcfile,
command line -help, and keep those texts in sync with english version.
My feeling of this general problem is that the help files should be translated,
probably also few messages, but the terminology (including commands/options
names) should not be changed, otherwise we got a complete mess
like in Windows95 localized versions...
Sincerely,

Leonid.
