Hello. I am running IceWM on Debian 10. There is a tag that appears above the main menu button when I hover my mouse pointer over it, which reads, "Favorite applications" (see enclosed image). I would like to be able to edit this tag but I cannot find where to do so. I have checked the various files in /usr/share/icewm and /home/mark/.icewm and /etc/X11/icewm, but I haven't found a file where I might change this yet. Does anyone know how I can change this?

Search for "Favorite applications" in the IceWM source and it appears to be a translation issue.

No idea where the translation files are stored/processed and whether that can be changed without re-compiling or not, but they seem responsive on the issue tracker so maybe raise an issue to ask.

Thanks for your help boughtonp. It's good to know that it's part of the source rather than a mere menu item that I can edit (meaning I can stop wasting time looking for such a menu item). Someone on Reddit (where I had also posted this) suggested that the file src/wmtaskbar.cc had the tag I wished to edit. So, via the instructions here, I got the source for the Sid package, edited the wmtaskbar.cc file, and built it for my Debian stable system (thus both fixing the spelling for my localization and also upgrading the package from icewm 1.4.3.0~pre-20 to icewm 1.9.2). So, it now has been changed.
