[Leftmenu_example]
Translated name value (so use eng-GB here)
Note: If you wish to have the name translatable you will need to
add string hidden in a template somewhere with |i18n() call or
a dummy PHP file with the following in it:
ezpI18n::tr( 'design/admin/parts/example/menu', 'Example menu', 'Leftmenu name for example menu' );
This will cause the ezlupdate to include it in the .ts file.
Note2: For custom menues (on custom tabs) you can also pass a hash of translations to ini_menu.tpl
so it will use strings in that if name of menu or link index exists in the hash.
(see design/admin/templates/parts/setup/menu.tpl for example)

Never edit settings/menu.ini itself: an update replaces it. Put the settings you change in an override, which wins over the shipped file:

• settings/override/menu.ini.append.php for every siteaccess,
• settings/siteaccess/<siteaccess>/menu.ini.append.php for one siteaccess,
• extension/<extension>/settings/menu.ini.append.php in an extension (read when the extension is active).
