[mythtv] Is there an easier way to update menu content other than manual?

Ni Hao!

Sadly, no.

The code could conceivably be changed to separate
the menu structure and their translated names,
but that is assuming that the context
(i.e. the menu page a button appears in)
isn't important in the translated string.

1) I'm not a linguist, but isn't that the nature of translation?
Inserting nuance, peer review, checking and double-checking, et c.


2) Note that it is more than just those three - some of the items in
mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/media_settings.xml are also duplicated in

mythplugins/mythmusic/theme/menus/musicmenu.xml
mythplugins/mythvideo/theme/menus/videomenu.xml
