Hi @all,

i created a Menubar with wxPython with some Menus and Submenus ... something
like this:

# create menubar
self.menubar = wx.MenuBar()
        
# create file menu
self.menFile = wx.Menu()
       
# create file submenu Language
self.submenLang = wx.Menu()
self.menDE = wx.MenuItem(self.submenLang, wx.ID_ANY, " ", kind = wx.ITEM_RADIO)
self.menEN = wx.MenuItem(self.submenLang, wx.ID_ANY, " ", kind = wx.ITEM_RADIO)
self.submenLang.AppendItem(self.menDE)
self.submenLang.AppendItem(self.menEN)
        
self.menExit = wx.MenuItem(self.menFile, wx.ID_ANY, " ", kind = wx.ITEM_NORMAL)
        
# fill file menu
self.menFile.AppendSubMenu(self.submenLang, "a", "b")
self.menFile.AppendSeparator()
self.menFile.AppendItem(self.menExit)
                
# create help menu
self.menHelp = wx.Menu()
self.menAbout = wx.MenuItem(self.menHelp, wx.ID_ANY, " ", kind = wx.ITEM_NORMAL)
self.menHelp.AppendItem(self.menAbout)
        
# fill & set menubar
self.menubar.Append(self.menFile, _("&File"))
self.MLFrm_menubar.Append(self.menHelp, _("&Help"))
self.SetMenuBar(self.MLFrm_menubar)

because of working with internationalization (gettext) i wont to reset the
labels and textes after changing the language in the submenu. For the simple
MenuItems i just make:

self.menExit.SetText(_("E&xit"))

for the labels of the top level menus (File and Help) i made:

self.menubar.SetMenuLabel(0, _("&File"))

but how can i reset the label of my submenu submenLang??

Hopefully someone can help me!

A wx.MenuItem will have been returned when you called AppendSubMenu, so you can use that to get the access you need.

OTOH, I think it would be easier to just recreate the whole menubar and replace the existing one.
