My XEmacs has (translated) Japanese text in the menubar and popup
menus, but then I'm also running in a Japanese locale.

Here's what I think is happening:

Since the menubar isn't an XEmacs buffer, the labels are displayed
using toolkit mechanisms, which live in a locale-centric world, and so
only text in the current locale can be displayed.

For similar reasons, the frame title and icon name can only use
characters in the locale of the window manager.
