It is wrong to use the t() function with dynamic string.
This bug is a "won't fix" for drupal 6 as I know..

indeed.
#3
Is there a true method to create translateble menu links to multilanguage nodes in Drupal 6.x core?
#4
So what's all this hype about multilingual support?! Although I'm new to drupal, I can see it change nicely between languages, doing a content as well as layout translation -- the loading and unloading of -rtl files. However, from a customized menu perspective, it fails to translate the menu item itself, let alone the link title. I can see this issue isn't much of a concern to the diverse (multilingual) developers of drupal and that's disappointing. Is drupal 7 going to fix this huge issue?
#5
Creation of multilingual menus in drupal 6 is possible without additional modules
see: #208047: Translation functionality in Drupal 6
The true method to create translatable menu links in drupal 6: use contributed modules.
http://drupal.org/project/i18n or http://drupal.org/project/localizer
These projects does not have official versions for drupal 6 yet. So, if you are interested in full multilingual support for drupal 6, please help them with testing or anything else..

I have the same problem. I think it is quite a bug and would be happy if it could be fixed. I would not say there is a real multilingual support if a custom menu cannot be translated. I am gonna have a look at the i18 module again, but I always prefer to stick to core as much as possible.

This is working fine with drupal 6.2 and i18n 6.x-1.0-beta1.tar
Custom menus do translate. Closing.
