Using the Apple menu (Apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar) the special menu items 
are always in English whatever set as Preferred Language

OSX:System Preferences:Language and Region:Preferred Languages

i.e it stills say

Preferences...
Show All
Hide Others
  etc

in the first menu (my own menu items using my own resource bundle are fine)

instead of:

Préférences
Tout afficher
Masquer les autres

even if change preferred language from English to French and reboot

This works properly using Java 6

Is this a known bug, is quite problematic because it makes Java 
applications look rather amateurish in non-english env.
