This is clearly OS dependent, but I think there's very little support
for it.
Under Windows, you can change the locale under which each application
runs ( using applocale
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx ), but the UI fonts
do not depend on the locale.
Under linux, the X/11 settings that apply to each application can be
customized, but I wonder of this applies to the menus.:
http://mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_fonts.html"most programs will obey a "font" resource in your .Xresources file; for
example, you could put the line "xterm*font: 8x13" to make 8x13 your
default xterm font."
It seems likely the menus/button depend either on the desktop
environment (Gnome/KDE/etc.) or on the widget toolkits the application
uses (Qt/GTK/Motif). I don't know precisely what support they have for
per locale/per app customization.
