There are the names of strings to be translated. If I cannot find them in
"national" LNC file then I search original "thebat.lnc" file and add them
manually to translation.

Personally I use TextPad editor to process text files. If I see a menu item
which is not translated then I try to search the appropriate phrase in the
original, copy whole line containing string name (if exists) to my
translation and then translate menu text. Probably the original English strings
are present in your translation as well if you use Language Compiler as a
tool for translation. If so, you should search string names mentioned in my
message in your translation.

Here is a piece of "thebat.lnc" file with strings you missed:

    MenuItem mSecurity 'Message Security'
    MenuItem msVerifySignature '&Verify Signature'
    MenuItem msDecrypt '&Decrypt'
    MenuItem msImportKey '&Import Key/Certificate'

Probably the same strings names are also in your translation.

The structure of language resource file is very simply. It contains form
names, for example FORM MailerForm 'The Bat!'.

Between FORM and ENDFORM declaration there are types and names of objects
located in this form, as MenuItem above. All these structures can be easily
seen in text editor.
