i want to change the texts names itself of the actions drop down menu (mark as new, bookmark, share thread, etc...) is it possible?

Give the following plugin a try (click the image), it still needs a bit of work and has to be run through its paces in order to weed out any bugs (which I'm sure there is) but it is in a test-ready state.

amazing, i just tried out and it worked right the way, i will try a few more thing and come back if i find any bugs, thank you so much!!!

A few bugs and omissions to keep in mind, "Bookmark" and "Remove Bookmark" are both hidden/shown in the action menu depending on the bookmarked status of the thread so when translating them make sure the longer "Remove Boomark" appears first in the list else you'll end up with both menu items being indistinguishable. Also the dropdown menus for the calendar page are not included in the initial release although you have the option of choosing "other" then setting them up by manually by adding their classes (.select_calendar_type, .select_calendar_month and .select_calendar_year).

i can't thank you enough, i was just having trouble with this, now fixed. but i did noticed a little limitation, for instance the inbox/outbox, whenever i change from one to the other in the drop-down menu, only the second "status" that i changed is shown, but not really something to bother...

Thanks for the update @iansixx, I totally forgot about Proboards having a few of those update-status-on-menu-click droppers so I made a slight change to now account for those special types as well. The procedure for those with dynamically updated status is now to place something (anything) in the status to indicate you want that change to occur, the plugin will see that then use the text of the selected option instead provided you've created a translation for the option currently selected. If no translation was provided for the currently selected option then it is treated as a static status as before and the text you placed in the status field will be used. Further selections will operate as normal, taking the text of the selected option and placing it in the status to show which was selected.



I'd recommend creating a single entry for each menu type with multiple lines in the original and replacement fields (as shown in the above image) rather than creating multiple autoform entries of the same type (e.g. multiple "inbox/outbox" menu types) each having only one translation to avoid creating conflicting instructions for the plugin. If you want it to say one thing in one board and another thing in another board then multiple entries are acceptable with one translation targeted to one or more boards and another targeting another board.
