This is clearly OS dependent, but I think there's very little support 
for it.

Under Windows, you can change the locale under which each application 
runs ( using applocale 
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx ), but the UI fonts 
do not depend on the locale.

Under linux, the X/11 settings that apply to each application can be 
customized, but I wonder of this applies to the menus.:
http://mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_fonts.html
"most programs will obey a "font" resource in your .Xresources file; for 
example, you could put the line "xterm*font: 8x13" to make 8x13 your 
default xterm font."

It seems likely the menus/button depend either on the desktop 
environment (Gnome/KDE/etc.) or on the widget toolkits the application 
uses (Qt/GTK/Motif). I don't know precisely what support they have for 
per locale/per app customization.
