function _menu_item_localize

Localize the router item title using t() or another callback.

Translate the title and description to allow storage of English title strings in the database, yet display of them in the language required by the current user.

Parameters

$item: A menu router item or a menu link item.

$map: The path as an array with objects already replaced. E.g., for path node/123 $map would be array('node', $node) where $node is the node object for node 123.

$link_translate: TRUE if we are translating a menu link item; FALSE if we are translating a menu router item.

Return value

No return value. $item['title'] is localized according to $item['title_callback']. If an item's callback is check_plain(), $item['options']['html'] becomes TRUE. $item['description'] is translated using t(). When doing link translation and the $item['options']['attributes']['title'] (link title attribute) matches the description, it is translated as well.

  // If we are translating the title of a menu link, and its title is the same

  // from the router. If it's customized, then we need to use the link title

  // If we are translating a router item (tabs, page, breadcrumb), then we
  // can always use the information from the router item.
